Abstract

SMT provides a wide variety of options in the manufacture of electronic equipment. It is the potential of these options that creates the excitement of this technology. However, SMT's penetration into real production has been relatively slow compared to the rhetoric it has caused over the last two decades. One aspect that the rhetoric ignores is the impact of SM equipment and processes on design. Most expertswould agree that product, performance and price are almost decided before surface mount is considered.This series of articles looks at some of the issue rraised by component handling that designers should know about.
