NEW at MTC: SMD contact pads

Depending on the design, it could be necessary to make flexible contacts on the printed circuit board. Among other things, the radiation of a unit can be reduced by one or more contacts. As an alternative to SMD contact springs MTC offers SMD contact pads in two different versions:

• Type S: silicone core coated with conductive silicone paste

• Type W: silicone rubber coated with conductive film (gold plated or tin plated)

Both types are designed for automatic assembly on the PCB via SMT procedure and are characterized by a good adhesion after SMT process.

In addition,  The components are mounted or placed directly onto the surface of PCBs. An electronic device so made is called a surface-mount device (SMD). In the industry it has largely replaced the through-hole technology construction method of fitting components...

contact pads have the following properties:

• very good electrical conductivity
• high temperature resistance
• high abrasion resistance
• excellent spring properties
• plane-parallel compression at all heights
• soft material and therefore better compressible
