Surface Mount Technology (SMT) involves mounting electronic components directly onto the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB). To ensure high-quality, functional boards, a rigorous testing and inspection process is essential. 1. Key Inspection and Testing Methods
A hybrid approach is often used, where a small batch of PCBs is produced using a mix of surface mount and through-hole components to verify the design before committing to a full production run. 3. Best Practices
(e.g., debugging a prototype, verifying a production run, or identifying a specific failure)
