 RECAP

 Printed circuit board(PCB).

 Integrated circuits

which are soldered on PCBs

using through-hole technology.

 PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD
 Basic component.
 Before PCBs point to point or wire wrap was
used.
 Provide mechanical support and electrically
connect electronic components.
 Use conductive pathways, or traces.
DESIGNING OF PCB
 THROUGH-HOLE
TECHNOLOGY

 Components are inserted on PCB by making

holes.
 Loaded on one side and soldered on other.
 Soldered through the leads of the components.
THROUGH-HOLE PCB
 SURFACE MOUNT
TECHNOLOGY
 Method for constructing electronic circuits.
 Components are mounted directly onto the
surface.
 Electronic devices so made are called surface-
mount devices or SMDs.
 Largely replaced the through-hole technology
 SURFACE MOUNT
TECHNOLOGY

 Replaced the leads by castellation.

 An SMT component is usually smaller than its
through-hole.
 Components on both sides of board.
 DISADVANTAGES OF HT-TECHNOLOGY

 Unwanted effects are more.

 Drilling may damage the PCB.
 Electric connections are weak.
 Single side usage.
 Large in size.
DISADVANTAGES OF HT-
TECHNOLOGY
 COMMON SMT PACKAGES
Three popular package:-
 0603(60 thou long,30 thou wide)
 0805(80 thou long,05 thou wide)
 1206(120 thou long,60 thou wide)

 HOW TO SMT (TECHNIQUES)

 Fine tip soldering

Uses conventional soldering techniques on a
much smaller scale
 Hot air reflow
Uses soldering paste and hot air to reflow the
soldering paste with components preset
 Oven reflow
Uses soldering paste and reflows entire board
 FINE TIP SOLDERING

 Conventional equipment
 Causes eye strain
 Requires a steady hand
 HOT AIR REFLOW

 Hot-AirRework Station
Fine tip solder tools
Desoldering tools
Hot tweezers
Hot air gun
 OVEN REFLOW

 Typical Reflow oven

Large and bulky
Expensive $$$ 
 OVEN REFLOW OVERVIEW
 After applying solder paste and
setting components, the board is
inserted to be “cooked”
 End result is a perfectly

soldered board for a

fraction of the cost
(no eye strain either).
 OVEN REFLOW STEPS

 Apply soldering paste

 Set IC’s and components
 Cook!

 Touch up using soldering wick to

remove excess solder.

 SUMMARY OF TECHNIQUES

 Fine tip soldering is hard, but essential

sometimes
 Hot air reflow is more convenient for
reworking of components
 Oven reflow is great for creating a whole board
at once.
 ADVANTAGES OF SMT
 Faster for automatic machine to place.
 Smaller physical size.
 Less parasitic effects.
 Cheaper.

 Components can be fitted to both sides of the

circuit board.
 ADVANTAGES OF SMT
 Soldering and de-soldering is easy.
 Reusability.

 Modern components are available in SMT

form.
 Less loaded.
 Failure is minimum.
 DISADVANTAGES OF SMT

 The initial cost and time of setting up for

production is high.
 Mechanically weak.
 The manufacturing processes for SMT are
much more sophisticated than through-hole
boards.
 APPLICATIONS

 Designing of hybrid components.

 Military devices and LCCCs.
 Small IC packages.
 Robotics.
 FUTURE
 Most aims towards the future in SMT is
geared towards:
 To evolve solder, to create a newer, better
alloy composition to improve
performance.
 The capability to create PCBs smaller and
lighter (eventually to the nano scale).
 Nanotechnology .
 Bright spot in the world of PCB.
