Since its emergence in 1989, SMT assembly has become one of the electronics industry’s most commonly used printed circuit board assembly processes. It allows for increased manufacturing automation which reduces cost and improves quality.
It is a method in which electrical components are mounted directly onto the surface of a printed circuit board, hence the name surface mount.
ThermOmegaTech’s SMT equipment is able to assemble boards of exceptionally large sizes with mounting speeds in excess of 45,000 components per hour. We can assemble boards that are densely populated, rigid or flexible, single-sided or double-sided with astounding accuracy.
Surface mount technology is a flexible assembly process that allows manufacturers to use smaller components with a higher density of connections and a much higher component density on a single board to produce an overall smaller footprint. Component placement can be single-sided or double-sided and does not require drilling through the board as with through-hole assemblies, allowing for a more streamlined and automated-friendly process.
Surface mount boards are also faster and easier to assemble, making them much more cost-effective to manufacture. SMT assemblies are built for more robust mechanical performance to better handle shock and vibration conditions and have more predictable high-frequency performance.
