PEM Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Fasteners: How They Work, Benefits & Applications
%20Products%20-%20LPSB.jpg)
In the world of modern electronics manufacturing, Surface Mount Technology (SMT) fasteners are a game-changer—especially for printed circuit board (PCB) assembly. Leading the innovation in this space is PEM , known for precision-engineered SMT fasteners that streamline production and ensure high-performance connections. 🔧 What is Surface Mount Technology (SMT) for Fasteners? SMT fasteners are mechanical components soldered directly onto PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) during the reflow soldering process. Unlike traditional through-hole methods, SMT fasteners don't require drilled holes or mechanical force for installation. Instead, they rely on solder paste, which melts during heating to form a secure, conductive bond. This method allows components like surface mount standoffs, nuts, and panel fasteners to be placed quickly and accurately—using standard pick-and-place machines before reflow. ⚙️ How SMT Fasteners Work During SMT assembly: Solder paste is applied to ...
