Surface Mount Technology (SMT) has revolutionized the electronics industry by enabling compact, efficient, and cost-effective PCB assembly. Today, nearly all commercially manufactured electronic devices utilize SMT for its ability to pack more functionality into smaller spaces and improve manufacturing processes through automation.
When assembling a printed circuit board (PCB), components are mounted onto the board through one of two primary methods: Surface Mount Technology (SMT) or Through-Hole Technology (THT). Each method has distinct advantages and is suited to different applications depending on the project requirements.
There are three main sources of heat in PCB: heat from electronic components; heat from PCB itself; Heat from other parts.
Among the three heat sources, the heating from electronic components is the largest, followed by the heat generated by PCB board, and other heat from the outside based on the overall thermal design of the system.
Conformal coatings play a critical role in ensuring the longevity and reliability of printed circuit boards (PCBs). Whether designing electronics for consumer devices, automotive systems, or military applications, selecting the right conformal coating is essential.
