What is SMT?
SMT, or Surface Mount Technology, is a widely used method in the electronics manufacturing industry for assembling electronic components onto printed circuit boards (PCBs). Unlike traditional through-hole technology (THT), where components have leads that pass through holes in the PCB and are soldered on the opposite side, SMT components are mounted directly onto the surface of the PCB. Here are some key characteristics and advantages of SMT:
SMT technology has become the industry standard for most electronic devices due to its many advantages in terms of efficiency, performance, and miniaturization. It has played a significant role in the development of smaller, more powerful, and more energy-efficient electronics.
