| Nov 5, 2019 at 11:26 | comment | added | Graham | Just as a note about your "surprise"... Almost every small box like that will have a PCB inside it, even if the components are ones which could be hand-soldered with wires such as switches, batteries and connectors. A PCB lends itself to automated assembly, which significantly reduces cost. Even if some components have to be hand-soldered to the PCB, this still reduces the assembly time and defect rate compared to soldering wires between components, which again makes it more cost-effective. | |
