The Surface Mount Assembly Process

PCB Preparation 

The SMT assembly process begins with preparing the PCB, applying solder paste to designated areas to ensure proper component bonding.

Component Placement

Using precision equipment, components are carefully placed on the PCB according to the design specifications, ensuring accuracy and reliability.

Reflow Soldering

The PCB is heated in a reflow oven, melting the solder paste to create strong and secure connections for all components.

Tech Sheet

FAQ's

  • Surface Mount Technology is a method for constructing electronic circuits in which components are mounted or placed directly onto the surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs).

  • Surface Mount Technology is used in electronic manufacturing to produce smaller, lighter, and more efficient electronic devices. It is used in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, medical devices, and more.

  • There is a huge difference between SMT vs through hole technologies. SMT assembly involves mounting components directly onto the PCB surface. On the other hand, Through Hole Technology (THT) involves inserting components through holes drilled in the PCB and soldering them on the opposite side.

  • SMT assembly offers advantages such as increased component density, reduced size and weight of PCBs, automated assembly processes leading to higher production speeds, and better electrical performance due to shorter interconnection paths.

  • Surface Mount Device (SMD) refers to the individual electronic components mounted directly onto the PCB surface using SMT. Surface Mount Technology (SMT) refers to the overall method of assembly where components are mounted onto the PCB surface. Therefore, SMDs are the components used in SMT assembly processes.
