These days, many printed circuit boards use surface mounted technology. The reason is simple: its much less cumbersome than soldering through the board and surface mounted circuits are smaller, allowing for more compact PCBs. PCB manufacturers generally fabricate both types of boards. If you are an old-school ...

A benefit of surface mounted PCBs is that they are quite lightweight. As technology becomes more portable--via cellphones, I-pods, laptops, and so on--this is becoming increasingly important. Basically, surface mounting is a revolution in circuitry. As surface mounted circuits are getting smaller and smaller, it can take ...
