Different Benefits of surface-mount technology PCB What is Surface mount technology?Surface mount technology is part of the electronic assembly that deals with the mounting of electronic components to the surface of the PCB. This way mounted electronic components are called surface mounted devices (SMD). The main purpose after the development of SMT was to minimize the manufacturing costs while making efficient use of PCB space. Other than that the introduction of surface mount technology has enabled PCB design services for highly complex electronic circuits with the smaller assemblies. There are any benefits of surface-mount technology PCB’s which we will discuss further in the blog.
In other ways if we try to study we can also say that Surface-mount technology (SMT) is a method for producing electronic circuits in which the components are mounted or placed directly onto the surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs). Such an electronic device is known as Surface-mount device (SMD). These devices have largely replaced the through-hole technology construction method of fitting components with wire leads into holes in the circuit board. With the through-hole technology used for components not suitable for surface mounting such as a large transformers and heat-sinked power semiconductors, both technologies can be used on the same board. The arrivals of Surface mount technology Surface-mount technology was developed in the 1960’s and was broadly used in the 1980s. However by 1990s, they were used in the most high-end PCB assemblies. These conventional electronic components were designed to include metal tabs or end caps that could be attached directly to the board surface; this replaced typical wire leads which needed to pass through drilled holes. The advent of SMT led to much smaller components and enabled component placement on both sides of the board more frequently than with through-hole mounting. The Design for manufacturing (DFM) software gives circuit designers the foundation for their SMT component placement and production. Other than this the software also helps designers to consistently meet stringent industry quality standards. This is where the functional and design features should merge. What are the different features of Surface mounted technology? SMT or the Surface mount technology allows electrical components to be mounted on the surface of a PCB without any drilling. Usually these components have smaller leads or no leads and are smaller than through-hole components. Surface mount components are more compact and are suitable for higher routing density, as they do not require many drilled holes.
Benefits of Surface-mount technology PCB The two main advantages or benefits of SMT are the smaller size and reduced weight. If the components are aligned closer together and then end products will be more compact and lightweight. The main benefits of Surface-mount technology are mentioned below: Frequency effects Just because the components have no lead and short lead, the disturbed parameters of the circuit are naturally reduced and the RF interference is reduced. Aerial Signal Transmission Speed The surface-mount technology assembled components are not only compact in structure, but also high in safety density. The assembly density can reach high when the PCS is pasted on both sides. The PCB’s assembled SMT can realize high speed signal transmission due to short circuit and small delay. On the same side, SMT assembled PCBs are more resistant to vibration and impact. This is of great significance to realize ultra-high speed operation of electronic equipment.
Low Material Costing Due to the improvement of production equipment efficiency and the reduction of packaging material consumption, the packaging cost of most SMT components has been lower than that of THT components. Therefore the sales price of SMT components is lower than the THT components. Simple production process and reduces the reduction cost When the PCBs are mounted, the leads of components need to be sent, shaped or cut short, so that the whole process is shortened and the production efficiency is improved. This is the reason that the processing cost of the same functional circuit is lower than that of through-hole interpolation. This generally reduces the total production cost by 30% to 50%.
Realize Miniaturization The geometric size and volume occupied by SMT electronic components are much smaller than that of through-hole interpolation components. This is the reason that even the weight can be reduced in the surface-mount technology. Other than this there are many benefits of surface-mount technology PCB. With the indefinite use of these PCBs due to their advantages they have got a good growth in the industry of technology.
