Surface Mount Technology (SMT)

Surface Mount Technology (SMT) is a method used to assemble electronic circuits by placing tiny components directly onto the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB). Unlike older techniques that insert leads through holes, SMT components are soldered onto the surface, allowing for smaller, more efficient, and faster production of electronic devices. This technology enables high-density circuit designs, making modern electronics more compact and reliable. SMT is widely used in manufacturing smartphones, computers, and many electronic gadgets due to its precision and scalability.
