What is SMT Assembly?

Surface Mount Technology (SMT) assembly is the process of placing electronic components directly onto printed circuit boards using automated equipment and controlled soldering steps.

SMT Process Overview

• Solder paste printing and SPI verification
• Pick-and-place component mounting
• Reflow soldering
• AOI and X-ray inspection where needed

Why Use SMT Assembly?

• Higher component density and smaller board layouts
• Faster automated production and repeatability
• Better fit for prototype, NPI, and repeat small-batch builds

What Files Help Start an RFQ?

BOM, pick-and-place file, and stencil data are the fastest starting point. Gerber is helpful but not always mandatory before quotation.
