Southco’s Surface Mount Technology (SMT) installation allows captive screws to be soldered directly to the Printed Circuit (PC) 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 used in many industries. • Supplied on tape and reel or trays for hand installation • Standard Phillips and Torx® recesses • Thread sizes currently available are 4-40, 6-32 and M3 in two lengths | |
