What is the difference between DIP and SMD components in PCB assembly?

 In PCBA processing, SMD components and DIP components are used.

 

So, what is the difference between SMD components and plug-in components?

 

The advantages of both

 

Advantages of SMD components

 

1. reduce the size of the product: SMD components are only about 1/10 of the volume of traditional cartridge components; general SMT processing, electronic products to reduce the volume of 40% to 60%.

 

2. improve production efficiency, reduce costs: SMT chip processing is easy to achieve automation, improve production efficiency, saving materials, energy, equipment, manpower, time, etc., reduce costs up to 30% ~ 50%. Easier to weld than plug-in components.

 

3. lightweight: the weight of SMD components is only 10% of the traditional plug-in components; general use of SMT after the weight of the product to reduce 60% ~ 80%.

 

4. high reliability, strong anti-vibration ability.

 

5. high-frequency characteristics, reduce electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. Because the SMD components without leads, reducing the stray electric field and magnetic field, which is particularly effective in high-frequency analog circuits and high-speed digital circuits.

 

6. low defect rate of solder joints.

 

Advantages of DIP components

 

1. are power-type devices, high requirements for heat dissipation, its performance is much higher than the chip components, more stable and durable to maintain the performance of the product.

 

2. low failure rate, easy to inspect, can be intuitive feedback out of bad, without the use of special equipment instruments.

 


The different soldering methods

 

SMD components soldering method

 

Components will be placed on the pad, in the component surface and pad contact smear tuned SMD solder paste, and then 20W internal heating type soldering iron to the pad and SMD components connected to heating (temperature should be in 220 ~ 230 ℃), see the melting solder can be taken away from the soldering iron, to be solder solidification after the welding is complete. After welding can be clamped with tweezers to see whether the welded SMD components are loose, no loose that is to say good welding, such as loose should be re-wiped point solder paste re-welding according to the above method.

 

DIP components soldering method

 

When soldering all pins, the solder should be added to the tip of the soldering iron and all pins should be coated with flux to keep the pins moist. Touch the end of each pin of the chip with the tip of the soldering iron until the solder flows into the pin. After soldering all the pins, wet the pins with flux to clean the solder to eliminate any shorts and laps. Finally, check for dummy solder with tweezers and when finished, remove the flux from the board by carefully wiping a stiff brush soaked in alcohol along with the pins until the flux is gone.

 

The above is Seektronics for you to explain the SMT processing SMD components and cartridge components difference, we hope it will help you.

The biggest problem with the latest 56 semiconductor manufacturers suspend orders, price increased, and long lead time. How can you fix it?

 Following the suspension of MCU orders by ELAN , Holtek Semiconductor issued a notice on 21st April suspending orders with immediate effect. The price of various semiconductors, especially MCUs, has risen as a result of factors such as the tightness of 8-inch wafer foundries. The demand for MCUs is so high that many major MCU manufacturers at home and abroad are operating at full capacity, but supply still exceeds demand. In its notice, Holtek  Semiconductor stated that Suspension of orders for 2022 Subject: Orders with delivery dates in 2022 are suspended with immediate effect.   Description: 1. The wafer fabs and packaging houses have advised that there will be another wave of price increases soon - price increases of 15%-30%. 2. The fabs are expected to provide 2022 production numbers by early May and will announce 2022 order acceptance rules when confirmed.   3. expected to resume accepting orders for 2022 by mid-May. 4. 2022 orders that have received deposits will be rescheduled

Understanding of DC-DC buck bootstrap circuit

In the peripheral circuit design of DC-DC BUCK chips, we usually add capacitors or a combination of capacitors + resistors between the BOOT and SW pins, this piece of circuit is called bootstrap circuit, the capacitors and resistors in the bootstrap circuit are called bootstrap capacitors and bootstrap resistors.   What is a bootstrap capacitor?   DCDC Buck chip has a pin called BOOT, and some are called BST. The following is an explanation of the BOOT pin of a DCDC chip. In the external circuit design, a capacitor, generally 0.1uF, is needed between the BOOT and SW pin, and is connected to the driver end of the high-end MOS tube of DCDC.     How does a bootstrap capacitor work?   The following is a block diagram of a DCDC BUCK chip, the top NMOS is called the high-side MOSFET and the bottom NMOS is called the low-side MOSFET.     When the high side MOS tube is turned on, SW is VIN, SW charges and stores energy in the inductor, and the inductor current is rising; when the low side MOS

2022 global chip shortage continues: ST、NXP、ADI、XILINX、ONSEMI、DIODES... latest trends

Under the influence of the epidemic and various emergencies around the world, the global chip industry fell into a shortage of stock in 2021. Now it has been a year, and the shortage of chips seems to have not eased. Below, we have collated the latest market developments of the original chip manufacturers such as ST, Renesas, NXP, ADI, ON Semiconductor, Microchip, Qualcomm, etc., so that you can have a good idea of the market situation. ST: Large shortage of high-end products and automotive chips Most stockists have been selling off since the prices of ST  products have fallen back, but this month has seen a small rebound. For example, STM8S003F3P6TR  and STM32F103VCT6 , two pieces of material, have seen a small price increase. It is worth noting that the market price of ST's brake system chips has recently soared, and other automotive chips have also risen, and there is still a large shortage of high-end products and automotive chips, and delivery times are still long.   In additi

Teach you 5 ways to identify and avoid counterfeit electronic components in a second

In the process of purchasing electronic components, the most worrying thing for buyers is not the price, but the quality of the product. There are a variety of IC chips on the market, of all kinds, and without paying attention to the distinction, it is sometimes difficult to see the difference between various materials, whether it is true or false, new or refurbished. The following is a compilation of some methods to identify genuine and fake chips, for your reference. Common chip counterfeiting methods Material A counterfeit material A Original manufacturer's tailor loose material: the original packaging has been disassembled or is no longer available, but product functionality and yield may be lower due to storage time or handling process, etc. Original manufacturer scrap or defective products: mainly products that have not passed factory inspection by the original manufacturer, such as scrap products after reliability testing, poor packaging quality, bad test products, etc. Orig

9 effective ways to improve your electronic components specification for approval

1. Let purchasers find manufacturers to provide specifications, safety information, environmental protection information, insurance information - E-document 2. Verify that the information is true and complete, such as the applicable period of the document, so as not to be fooled by the manufacturer. 3. Let the buyer find the manufacturer to provide samples, specifications, safety information, environmental information, insurance information - Paper files 4. Environmental test: send several samples to the environmental laboratory for ROSH halogen test. 5. Electrical specifications and high-temperature testing - e.g. electrolytic capacitors :  A: measuring capacity and deviation withstand voltage, PIN foot tin is good B: go through the production line to see if the capacitors are deformed after the high temperature of the furnace and if the capacity and the deviation voltage are okay. 6. Body size check - e.g. electrolytic capacitors . Body height and diameter, PIN pin spacing, PIN pin d
