Advantages of SMT

Surface mount technology offers numerous benefits that should not be overlooked. These include:

Dual-sided circuit boards:

The through-hole process limits component placement to one side of the board due to the protruding pins. However, SMT allows for components to be attached on both sides, allowing for more complex circuitry without significant size increase.

Small components:

SMT allows for miniaturization by attaching tiny components at high densities, resulting in smaller units compared to other manufacturing methods. The implementation of contact terminals, rather than leads, is the key to this major benefit. In fact, SMT can shrink a unit to the size of a single grain of sand..

Less drilling:

One method for creating secure connections on a PCB is through-hole technology, which involves drilling holes. However, this can lead to increased costs during the manufacturing process. An alternative that is often more cost-efficient is surface-mount technology (SMT), which eliminates the need for drilling holes.

Highly customizable:

With SMT technology, it is possible to connect a wide variety of parts to your circuit boards. This advanced technique has been widely adopted by companies across different industries, offering the flexibility to tailor boards for a multitude of applications.

Easily automated:

SMT offers multiple manufacturing advantages due to its advanced automation. Various tasks such as solder paste printing, component placement, inspection scanning, and reflow soldering can be performed effectively and efficiently by machines.

How Does SMT Work?

SMT, a technique known as surface mount technology, is an advanced and adaptable method utilized in the assembly of electronics. Through this method, manufacturers have the flexibility to mount electronic components onto a printed circuit board, allowing for a multitude of possibilities for constructing circuit boards.

Surface mounting has distinct advantages over other techniques commonly used in PCB manufacturing. One key benefit is the ability to create much smaller products, up to a third of the size and weight of traditional through-hole boards. In addition, this technology allows for more intricate circuit designs to be incorporated into compact assemblies, playing a critical role in the proliferation of compact electronic devices in today’s society.

When deciding on the assembly process for your needs, take into account factors such as assembly speed, ease of use, cost-effectiveness, product durability, and component density. Our expert engineers can provide guidance in determining the best option, taking their extensive knowledge into consideration.
