What is Surface Mount Technology (SMT)?
Surface Mount Technology is a method for assembling electronic components onto printed circuit boards (PCBs). Unlike traditional through-hole technology, where components have leads inserted through holes in the PCB, SMT involves mounting components directly onto the surface of the PCB. The SMT offers advantages such as smaller form factors and improved manufacturing efficiency and compatibility with the automated assembly processes.
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.
