Electronics Manufacturing Surge in India: Electronics manufacturing in India has increased fivefold in the last decade, exceeding Rs 11 lakh crore. This was highlighted at the inauguration of VVDN Technologies’ SMT line.
-
What is SMT: Surface Mount Technology (SMT) is a method for mounting electronic components directly onto the surface of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs).
-
SMT vs. Through-Hole Technology (THT): SMT is more compact, economical, and efficient compared to traditional THT. SMT
enables automated production. -
SMT Advantages: SMT offers cheaper production costs, higher component density, and improved electrical performance compared to THT. SMT supports microelectronics by allowing components to be packed closer together. The process for SMT production setup is faster
than THT. SMT overall makeup is far less complex than THT. -
SMT Soldering Techniques: The primary soldering methods in SMT are reflow soldering and wave soldering.
-
SMT Applications: SMT is widely used across various industries, including consumer electronics, medical devices, and aerospace.
