SMD Surface Mount Devices

For a great little Surface Mount practice kit, see Roman Black's Shift-1 wire serial LCD driver and project board

• Footprints / IC Package Types
• Sockets, Adapters and PCBs
• Soldering
• Desoldering

Surface mount devices have many advantages and a few disadvantages. More and more components are available only in SMT packages, so learning to work with them is becomming critical.

Also:

• "Manhattan" style construction

  http://www.heatshrinkgunsindia.com We represent STEINEL from Germany for their Hot Air Heat Guns useful for various applications.
  
  Microprocessor-controlled, high-end heat gun with temperature control, LCD display and cold air stage for Removal of SMD IC⬙s & PTH Componets / Microprocessors of Mini Systems, Mobile Phones, CTV, LCD TV, or any other electronic Chassis is difficult using our Normal Soldering Irons. Hot Air Gun is useful to facilitate easy rework without damaging the ICs and the Boards.
  
  
  Apart from above there many other applications like:
  1. Removal of SMD Components and Dualin IC's through Printed Through Hole Circuits (which otherwise would be difficult without the expensive De-soldering Stations, SMD Rework Stations).
  2. Removal of small particles that get stuck in the small holes, while removing Dualin IC's through Printed through hole Circuits.
  3. Removal of SMD IC's specially Micro Processor for System etc.
  4. Removal of moisture on the PCB's can also be done with the Steinel Hot Air Gun.
  5. Shrink Sleeving and Shrink Tubing.
  6. Softening of Wires in Motors during repairs.
  7. Drying of Adhesives / Filters / Activating Emulsions etc.
  8. Several other applications where flameless heat is required.
  
  Applications in Refrigerators / Washing Machines / Air-conditions
  
  1. Alignment of Gaskets in the Refrigerators.
  2. To Smoothen the Doors of the Refrigerators.
  3. To Remove White Marks in HIP Blow Moulded Sheets.
  4. To Remove Moisture.
  5. For drying of metallic parts after washing in water jet

Comments:

• Lots of useful info, but a tad too professional. I was looking for more amateurish material. Interesting reading though.. Thanks..+

Questions:

• KILLspamrafiq_azeeme at -Remove-yahoo.com asks: " plz tell that how can understand the smd capacitore value and its working voltage" James Newton replies: Info on reading the values from SMD and other capacitors is found at Capacitors page. For others see components+
