What is SMT PCB Assembly? SMT PCB assembly (Surface mount technology) represents a method to assemble electronic components to printed circuit boards. In the 1960s, it was developed by IBM in the United States, now is widely used in China PCB assembly industry because of its forward-looking and practical nature. To… Read More »What are SMT PCB assembly and through hole assembly?
Reflow Soldering & Wave Soldering We have already known SMT (Surface Mount Technology) is a surface mount soldering method that is different from THT (Through-hole Technology) which is need components inserting through the holes. Reflow soldering is applied in the SMT assembly, while wave soldering got used for THT… Read More »What Are Reflow Soldering & Wave Soldering?
