Simple understanding of SMT
SMT is the abbreviation for Surface Mounted Technology, and is currently the most popular technology and process in the electronic assembly industry.
What are the characteristics of SMT
High assembly density, small size, and light weight of electronic products. The volume and weight of SMT components are only about 1/10 of those of traditional plug-in components. Generally, after using SMT, the volume of electronic products is reduced by 40% to 60%, and the weight is reduced by 60% to 80%. High reliability and strong vibration resistance. Low solder joint defect rate. Good high-frequency characteristics. Reduced electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. Easy to automate and improve production efficiency. Reduce costs by 30% to 50%. Save materials, energy, equipment, manpower, time, etc.
Why use SMT:
The pursuit of miniaturization in electronic products has led to the inability of previously used perforated plug-in components to reduce the size of electronic products and achieve more complete functionality. The integrated circuits (ICs) used have no perforated components, especially large-scale, highly integrated ICs, and have to adopt surface mount components for mass production and automation. The factory must produce high-quality products at low cost and high output to meet customer needs and enhance market competitiveness, The development of integrated circuits (ICs), the multiple applications of semiconductor materials, and the revolution in electronic technology are imperative to pursue international trends
