Surface Mount PCB
Posted: May 14, 2022 By: Bonnie
SMD – Surface Mount Device. 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). An electronic device so made is called a surface-mount device (SMD).

What is the difference between SMD and SMT?

An SMD, or surface mounted device, is an electronic component that you would find on a board. An SMT, or surface mount technology, is the method of placing components (like an SMD) on the board. In electronic manufacturing services, the SMT process often works with SMDs, perhaps adding to the confusion.

What is meant by SMD?

A surface-mount device (SMD) is an electronic device whose components are placed or mounted onto the surface of the printed circuit board (PCB). Compared to the latter, SMT allows both sides of a PCB to be used when required.

What is PCB mounting?

PCB is an acronym for printed circuit board. It is a board that has lines and pads that connect various points together. In the picture above, there are traces that electrically connect the various connectors and components to each other. A PCB allows signals and power to be routed between physical devices.
