Why do through-hole components fail to solder correctly down onto the PCB?

I am an electrical engineer in a company. Recently I am developed a new product in lab and making a sample for further confirmation. When I solder TH component, feel a little troublesome. Any soldering expert to help?

(Even the soldering process is under the suggested temperature.)

1.Component’s lead temperature is too cold and cannot form a good solder join.

2.Through-Hole Dimensions on the PCB are insufficient (too small)

3.Physical damage to the solder joint after soldering
After soldering, some processes may cause physical stress and fracturing, such as installing a heat sink on the surface, or installing unfitted plastic case molding.

What kind of materials should I used inside USB flash drive?

We are a office stationery brand which is not so sophisticated in USB manufacturing and design, so we outsource them. The quotation is not so pretty in unite price because of the high cost of raw materials, according to the explanation of the supplier. What kind of materials should I used inside USB?

How fast can through hole PCBs run?

I’m trying to rate the speed of my pathetic attempts at electronics. So sticking specifically to through hole construction with DIP packages. A soldered PCB like mine can operate at 5MHz. Mine is slower. Why?
