Surface mount technology (SMT) is a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly method in which components are placed by a machine directly onto the surface of the board. While this type of assembly has mainly replaced the thru-hole technology method of fitting components with wire leads into holes, Cirexx offers both SMT and thru-hole technologies — even on the same board.
The main advantage to SMT assembly is that a machine places the electrical components as opposed to a human, which increases quality and efficiency while simultaneously reducing the chance of error.
SMT is used as the main type of PCB assembly in projects across all types of industries and applications, including:
The lead time for SMT PCB assembly depends on the number of line items on the bill of materials (BOM) and the number of components on the board. Contact us today so that we can provide you with an accurate estimate.
