Surface Mount Technology Overview

  
Zierick’s surface mount terminals feature internal holes or slots at the base which foster a capillary solder wicking action for improved post reflow accuracy and joint strength.
 
As the industry’s first surface mountable connectors to be supplied on a continuous reel, Surf-Shooter SMT connectors are used as part of Zierick’s patented Surf-Shooter SMT (Surface Mount Technology) Assembly System to simplify surface mount assembly. The complete Surf-Shooter SMT system feeds, separates, and presents the continuous format, surface-mountable connectors to the vacuum pick-up head of a new or existing placement system.

The continuous format design of the stamped Surf-Shooter SMT connectors eliminates the need for pre-packaging that surface mount connectors typically come in. Even odd-form components can be fed to the placement system on continuous reels, eliminating hand assembly.

For easy integration into customer assembly lines, the Surf-Shooter SMT Assembly System operates with virtually any standard placement system. Each Surf-Shooter SMT system consists of a feeder system and continuous Zierick connectors. Zierick will supply or modify feeders for virtually any SMT placement system.
