MANUFACTURE & DESIGN 
   FOR SURFACE MOUNT TECHNOLOGY

Why is SMT so important ?

Surface mount technology enables electronics manufacturers to reduce circuit board size, improve reliability and increase throughput. The ever increasing number of products utilising surface mount components is evidence of the world-wide trend towards surface mount. To realise the benefits of surface mount, companies need to learn new techniques in both design and assembly.

Why Should I Attend ?

In this course, participants will learn in depth all processes associated with printed circuit board design, manufacture and assembly using surface mount devices.

• PCB Manufacture - Single sided, THP, Multilayer, Flexible, Surface Laminar, PCB Specifications, the IPC
• Relationship between poor bare board manufacture and assembly problems for SMT, costs, vendor selection guide
• SMT Components, TAB, COF, COB
• Component selection and storage
• Incoming inspection
• SMT Assembly processes
• Solder paste, testing and printing
• Component placement - manual, P&P and Turret
• Reflow soldering
• Glue and its application
• Hand soldering SMT
• Wave soldering SMT
• Workmanship standards and Quality
• Management issues for SMT
• Engineering design issues

Who Should Attend ?

• PCB Designers
• Engineers and technical staff who are involved with SMT manufacture
• Managerial staff who need to up-date their knowledge of new developments in manufacturing technology
• New staff who have recently moved into this area of electronics manufacturing
• Young graduates requiring need practical insights
