# The Advantages of Surface Mount Technology of a printed circuit board

_Published: 2021-03-19_

Surface-Mount Technology has been the industry standard for assembling **[printed circuit board](https://www.bestpcbs.com/products/FR4-pcb.htm)**. It has maintained its popular due its wide array of advantages and relatively few drawbacks. For more than 15 years’ experience, [EBest Circuit (Best Technology)](https://www.bestpcbs.com/about/index.htm) has been offering surface-mount service for worldwide customers, and SMT service become a great part of our business.

See some photo which we are do assembly for our customer this month.

**T****o****p Advantages of Surface-Mount Technology******

Smaller size and reduced weight are the two main advantages to SMT. Components can be aligned closer together and end products will be more compact and light weight.

**Here are additional benefits of SMT:******

1.Component placement auto correctly â€“ there is no alignment between the PCB solder pads and components pads to avoid placement errors.

2.Low cost:

The advantage of small size up to 0201. One set, SMT typically requires lower production costs than through-hole placement. The size of the board is reduced, the number of drilled holes is reduced, and routing of traces is reduced. So bring down the cost of the whole project.

3.Design flexibility â€“ You can combine through-hole technology and SMT manufacturing on the same board for greater functionality.

4. **Printed circuit boards** created with the SMT process are more compact, providing higher circuit speeds. (This is the main reasons most manufacturers choose for this method.)

5.Higher circuit speeds â€“ Most manufacturers rate this the number-one benefit.

Lower resistance/induction â€“ High-frequency performance reduces unwanted consequences of RF signals.

6. Quick Turn Around

Using Surface-Mount Technology, it can save lots of time, SMT is a much more streamlined manufacturing process compared to through-hole. Time is saved because components are applied using a solder paste instead of drilling holes in the PCB

7. Quantity â€“ More components can be positioned using both sides of the circuit board, creating more connections for each component. Fewer circuit boards are needed for devices.

8. Stability â€“ Better performance delivery is realized with vibration mechanical conditions. SMT connections are more reliable, it can reduce the dis connection risks during the final test.
