The Most Common Applications of Surface-Mount Technology (SMT) – And Why Expertise Matters

Why Expertise Matters in Surface-Mount Technology

Surface-Mount Technology (SMT) is a manufacturing method most popularly used to create printed circuit boards (PCBs), the foundation of most modern electronics. SMT allows these boards to be built quickly, to exact specifications, en-masse; all whilst complying with regulations.

But SMT needs to be completed with state-of-the-art processes, headed by teams of skilled manufacturers to ensure the end product is completed to a high standard.

At Camtronics, we have provided high-quality manufacturing services for over 25 years. Read on, and we will discuss why expertise like ours matters in the creation of high quality PCBs.

Efficient Production with Minimal Delays

Expert electronics manufacturers over the years learn to implement efficient production processes and streamlined workflows, harnessing their knowledge of SMT technology to enhance assembly speed in ways that do not sacrifice the end quality of the product. We source quality materials and components, to ensure smooth production from start to finish.

Useful Insight and Guidance

No PCBs are made and used equally, that is because they are used in a whole range of applications, from fighter planes to smart fridges. Some may experience high temperatures during operation, some may be subjected to increased wear and tear. This requires modifications to the design to ensure the circuit boards last long, are reliable, and make a more dependable end product.

As experts in surface-mounting, Camtronics can advise on these potential challenges, and means to address them. Whether that is using a different substrate formulation, or distributing the components in another layout. With expertise, clients can avoid costly oversights that result in an unreliable end product.

Comprehensive Quality Assurance

While automation handles the majority of the PCB manufacturing process, quality control requires input from experts who know what defects to look for. Production errors have to be detected quickly and consistently in the manufacturing process to minimise downtime and wasted resources.

At Camtronics, our qualified technicians make use of X-ray and automated optical inspections, integrated naturally into the manufacturing process. Their skills are employed throughout manufacturing to ensure no substandard PCBs are shipped.
