This Chaney Training Course will introduce your students to the latest assembly technology known as Surface Mount Technology. Surface mount technology uses tiny leadless components known as surface mount devices (SMDs) which are quickly replacing standard electronic components. Currently most electronic equipment incorporates this exciting new technology. By completing this course the student learns concepts about surface mount technology (SMT) such as: the different types of surface mount devices (SMDs) the various types of surface mount assemblies the automated soldering methods and all of the stages of the manual and automated assembly processes of surface mount circuits. The student gains experience identifying soldering and using surface mount devices by physically building an actual working surface mount technology project.
