Example
Consider a mobile phone’s PCB assembly. Surface mount components are densely placed on PCB’s surface is allowing for compact and lightweight design.
Surface Mount Technology
Surface Mount Technology (SMT) is used in the electronic industry to assemble and solder electronic components directly onto the surface of printed circuit boards. Unlike through-hole technology, where components have leads inserted into drilled holes, SMT components have small leads or no leads, relying on solder paste and a reflow soldering process to establish electrical connections.
