Surface Mount Process is a website created to be used as a technical resource for process engineers but also for anyone with an interest in surface mount technology (SMT). The scope of the website ...

The different types of PCB assembly methods like surface mount, through-hole, and mixed assembly. How these PCB assembly processes differ from each other. The performance of a printed circuit board ...

Scientists from the Université de Sherbrooke in Canada have fabricated a prototype of a concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) module based on the so-called surface-mount technology (SMT) – a technique that ...

Having worked in the engineering department of an electronics contract manufacturing company in the late 80s, I remember well the assembly lines that required both thru-hole and surface mount boards.

Motorola designed its 16-pin PFP-16 power flat package for RF power amplifiers and similar components. You can attach and solder this surface-mount package to the pc board using the same standard ...

Surface mount is where the action is in the world of DIY PCBs, and deservedly so. SMDs are so much smaller than through-hole components, and fewer holes to drill make surface-mount PCBs easier to ...
