Surface Mount Technology (smt) From Southco Streamlines Pc Board Assembly And Reduces Scrap Rates

Southco, Inc., a global leader in engineered access solutions, is pleased to introduce Surface Mount Technology (SMT) for installing our captive hardware to Printed Circuit (PC) boards. Southco’s SMT installation allows our best-in-class captive hardware to be soldered directly to the circuit board, eliminating the need for a secondary mechanical press to install captive screws after the reflow process.

Compared to traditional self-clinching, flare-in and PC board fasteners that require mechanical assembly, Southco’s SMT solution enables the attachment of captive hardware to be completed during the PC board reflow process, reducing scrap rates and improving first yield pass. Available in both tray and reel assembly options, Southco’s SMT mitigates risk in the production of high-value products for the telecommunications industry.
