The biggest benefits of surface mount assembly SMD for electrical and electronic projects
Saying that a device has surface mount assembly SMD assembly means that its components are mounted directly on the surface of the board. This method has come to replace the one where the components are assembled through holes, the through-hole. We can highlight as the most obvious advantage of this evolution the fact that the surface mount assembly SMD assembly allows using the two faces of the board, but not only that. This technology has revolutionized science because it allows a greater range of possibilities in plate layout and has very few disadvantages.
Advantages of SMD Assembly
If you still have questions about the advantages of the SMD assembly, we have separated 6 reasons to adhere to this model:

- The layout is clean and functional - SMD assembly technology has no loose components. This ensures greater security and stability to the board, causing it to present fewer errors and last longer.
- Preserved Physical Resistance - Each time the board needs to undergo some kind of intervention to insert a component, its physical structure is somewhat shaken. As in the SMD assembly, this happens much less, the physical resistance of the board remains much more complete.
- Possibility of mounting ever smaller boards - SMD assembly technology has allowed inserting components that currently reach up to 04mm x 02mm (01005). This means significant space savings and numerous possibilities for new technologies.
- Facilitates assembly of prototypes - Since assembly is faster and simpler, it is easier to set up an assembly line to produce small batches. Not to mention that the time required for the prototyping period decreases, bringing the finished product to market faster.
- Accuracy and repeatability - The SMD assembly can be fully automated, ensuring accuracy and repeatability when assembling the product.
- No need to perform - Unlike the through-hole, where most components require preparation of the pre-assembly component, the SMD components are available ready for assembly.
