SMD vs SMT_ Clarifying Their Key Differences in Electronics Manufacturing

SMD vs SMT: Clarifying Their Key Differences in Electronics Manufacturing

When it comes to electronics manufacturing, the acronyms SMD and SMT are often used. On the surface, they look almost identical – just one letter separates Surface Mount Devices (SMD) from Surface Mount Technologies (SMT). However, in practice, SMDs and SMT refer to quite different aspects of the production process. SMT refers to innovative techniques

PCB vs PCBA: What’s the Difference

PCB vs PCBA: What’s the Difference?

PCB and PCBA are the two most common terms in the electronics industry. Although the difference between them is only one letter, they represent different things. The full name of PCB is Printed Circuit Board, which refers to a blank board without any electronic components assembled. PCBA stands for Printed Circuit Board Assembly, which refers

Through Hole Components: Vintage Tech Still Key in PCBs

Through Hole Components: Vintage Tech Still Key in PCBs

Through-hole components are electronic components with leads or terminals that are inserted into holes drilled in a PCB board and soldered to make mechanical and electrical connections. In the early days, THT (Through-hole technology) was the main PCB assembly technology, but as the integration level of today’s circuits continues to increase, components will become more compact,
