Surface mount technology (SMT) is a PCB assembly method that places components directly onto the board surface using automated equipment. SMT supports compact designs, high component density, and efficient production.
Topline Circuit provides both SMT and through-hole assembly. The two methods can also be combined on the same PCB when required by the design.
Automated equipment places surface-mount components onto solder-paste-coated PCB pads. The assembled board then passes through a controlled reflow oven to form reliable solder joints.
Automated placement improves component accuracy, consistency, and production efficiency while reducing manual assembly errors. SMT also supports smaller components, higher connection density, and compact PCB designs.
SMT PCB assembly is used for electronic products that require compact designs, high component density, and consistent production quality. Common applications include:
Topline Circuit supports PCB projects from design review and fabrication through SMT assembly, inspection, and testing. Our engineering team reviews component requirements and manufacturability factors before production.
We provide SMT and through-hole assembly for prototypes and production orders, including mixed-technology boards. Contact us to discuss your PCB assembly requirements.
We review the design data for every custom PCB and assembly quotation. After receiving your Gerber files, fabrication drawings, schematics, BOM, and other project requirements, our engineering team evaluates the design and prepares a detailed quotation. We respond within 24 hours.
