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 result is that the entire board is much denser, and comments can be installed on both sides of the PC board, as seen in ...

The assembly of electronic products with SMT has the advantages of small size, good performance, full functionality and low cost. Widely used in aviation, communications, medical electronics, ...

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.

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 ...

Paraphrasing an old saying, “electronic systems cannot exist by semiconductors alone.” Virtually every electronic system requires passive components, primarily resistors, and capacitors. Although ...

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 ...
