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 ...

HARTING has introduced a new family of surface-mount D-Sub connectors whose design has been optimised to provide compatibility with modern assembly processes as well as long-term reliability. A ...

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.

Check out our special report on passive components coming in February! Because virtually every electronic system requires passive components, primarily resistors, and capacitors, it's important that ...

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 ...

As computers have gotten smaller and less expensive over the years, so have their components. While many of us got our start in the age of through-hole PCBs, this size reduction has led to more and ...
