Surface-mount technology (SMT), originally called planar mounting, [1] is a method in which the electrical components are mounted directly onto the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB). [2] An electrical component mounted in this manner is referred to as a surface-mount device ( SMD ).
Four-PCB panel. Depaneling or depanelization is a process step in high-volume electronics assembly production. In order to increase the throughput of printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing and surface mount (SMT) lines, PCBs are often arranged in a process called panelization so that they consist of many smaller individual PCBs that will be used in the final product.
The development of the SMT process actually evolves from the thick film process. Also mounting of naked dies (the actual silicon chip without encapsulation) and wire bonding is a standard process, this provides the basis for miniaturization of the circuits as all the extra encapsulation is not necessary.
Internal details of a two head, gantry style pick-and-place JUKI SMT machine. In the foreground are tape and reel feeders, then the (currently empty) conveyor belt for printed circuit boards, and in back are large parts in a tray. The gantry carries two pickup nozzles, flanking a camera (marked "do not touch" to avoid fingerprints on the lens).
Inputs to the process can be classified as design input, material input and process parameter input. The output of the process is a printed wiring board that meets the process specification limits. These specifications usually are consistent solder paste volume and height, and printed solder paste aligned on the PWB pads.
TO-262: [24] Also called I2PAK: SMT package similar to the D2PAK but with longer leads for SMT or TH mounting; TO-263: [24] Also called D2PAK: SMT package similar to the TO-220 without the extended tab and mounting hole; TO-274: [24] Also called Super-247: SMT package similar to the TO-247 without the mounting hole
Sensors installed to a fixture to check selective solder machine parameters Selective soldering machine. Selective soldering is the process of selectively soldering components to printed circuit boards and molded modules that could be damaged by the heat of a reflow oven or wave soldering in a traditional surface-mount technology (SMT) or through-hole technology assembly processes.
Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) is a technique for improving the overall efficiency of superscalar CPUs with hardware multithreading. SMT permits multiple independent threads of execution to better use the resources provided by modern processor architectures .
