🔬 "Small but Mighty: The World of SMT Component Sizes"

13 August 2025

When it comes to electronics manufacturing, size really does matter, just not in the way you might think!

Our Surface Mount Technology (SMT) machines handle components ranging from the easily visible 1206 size (3.2mm x 1.6mm) right down to the microscopic 01005, measuring just 0.4mm x 0.2mm.

For context:
- Smaller than a grain of pepper
- Over 100 could fit on a single fingernail
- Drop one and you will need Sherlock Holmes and a microscope to find it!

Working at this scale requires precision placement, advanced vision systems and meticulous process control. This is exactly what our SMT lines are built for. Whether your design calls for larger components or the tiniest chips on the market, we have the technology and the skill to place them with micron-level accuracy.
