SMD: Surface Mount Electronic Components for SMT: SMD or Surface Mount Electronic Components for SMT are no different from through-hole components as far as the electrical function is concerned. Because they are smaller, however, the SMCs (surface mount components) provide better electrical performance.

 

Below I discuss in detail all the SMD components:

 

Passive Surface Mount Components:

1. Surface Mount Discrete Resistors

2. Surface Mount Resistor Networks

3. Ceramic Capacitors for SMT

4. Surface Mount Tantalum Capacitors

5. Tubular Passive Components for SMT

 

SMD Active Components for SMT:

1. Leadless Ceramic Chip Carriers (LCCC)

2. Ceramic Leaded Chip Carriers (CLCC) (Preleaded and Postleaded)

 

SMD Active Components for SMT (Plastic Packages):

1. Small Outline Transistors (SOT)

2. Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC and SOP)

3. Plastic Leaded Chip Carriers (PLCC)

4. Small Outline J Packages (SOJ)

5. Fine Pitch SMD Packages (QFP, SQFP)

 

Ball Grid Array (BGA):

1. PGA (pin grid array)

2. CBGA (Ceramic Ball Grid Array)

3. CCGA (Ceramic Column Grid Array)
