Rework Options In SMT Manufacturing

Posted by Matthew Turpin on Tue, Aug 18, 2015 @ 07:00 PM

Circuit boards manufactured with Surface Mounting Technologies have revolutionized electronics manufacturing, thanks to their ease of construction and the much higher component density they make possible.  SMT construction allows for devices which are smaller, more feature-packed, and (very often) cheaper to produce.

SMT Manufacturing Brings Better Products

Posted by Matthew Turpin on Tue, Jul 07, 2015 @ 07:30 AM

If you've ever wondered how it is that electronic devices can continually shrink in size, Surface Mounting Technologies (SMT) are largely to thank.  This continually-evolving set of manufacturing techniques allows electronics to be created which are superior to alternative manufacturing methods in numerous ways.

What makes SMT different is that it allows individual components to be placed directly onto the circuit board, without the need for sending wires through to the other side.

What Is The Difference Between SMT and Through Hole Technology?

Posted by Matthew Turpin on Thu, Feb 05, 2015 @ 07:00 AM

Surface mounted technology (SMT) has grown in popularity over the past few years and has widely replaced through-hole technology. But why is SMT so preferable to through-hole mounting, and can through-hole still be relevant in certain applications? By taking a few moment's to learn about both methods, you'll gain a thorough understanding of the unique characteristics of the two, the key differences between them, and what it is that makes SMT the preferred option.

SMT Production: Know The Basics Before You Start

Posted by Laura Austin on Tue, Jun 04, 2013 @ 07:00 AM

There are different approaches to mounting components onto a printed circuit board with each method having its own strengths and weaknesses. This brings up the need of understanding what a given circuit is expected to do hence going for an approach that will bring the best in terms or performance and durability out your circuit.
