SMT (Surface-Mount Technology)

Surface-Mount Technology (SMT) is a method used to assemble electronic circuits by placing small components directly onto the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB). Unlike traditional methods that insert components through holes, SMT components are mounted flat, allowing for dense, compact, and efficient circuit designs. This technique enables faster production, better reliability, and smaller device sizes, making it essential in modern electronics like smartphones, computers, and medical devices. SMT improves manufacturing precision and component performance by utilizing automated machinery for placement and soldering.
