April 2026 – ubersmt, a U.S.-based electronics manufacturing services provider, has added a full suite of PCB handling equipment from PROMATION to support its growing SMT production line. The new ...

The reasons why it’s best, or perhaps not a good idea, to bring your PCB/SMT assembly in-house. How to select the PCB/SMT equipment you’ll need to get started—stencil printer, pick-and-place machine, ...

You can do your own Surface Mount Technology based PCB assembly with just a handful of tools and some patience. At the heart of my SMT process is stopping to inspect the various steps all while trying ...

As the core technology used in modern electronics manufacturing, surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly density is increasing, the number of pins is increasing, and the pitch is decreasing. In ...

It directly affects electrical performance, manufacturing yield, PCB layout complexity and long-term reliability. There are ...

The different types of PCB assembly methods like surface mount, through-hole, and mixed assembly. How these PCB assembly processes differ from each other. The performance of a printed circuit board ...

Surface-mount technology (SMT) is evolving far beyond its roots as a way of assembling packaged chips onto printed circuit boards without through-holes. It is now moving inside packages that will ...

One of the first decisions involved in laying out a printed circuit board (PCB) is choosing the type and style of components to be used. This decision is mainly driven by the PCB’s electrical ...
