An electrical component mounted in this manner is referred to as a surface-mount device (SMD). In industry, this approach has largely replaced the through-hole technology construction method of fitting components, in large part because SMT allows for increased manufacturing automation which reduces cost and improves quality.

MICRO SMD-Chip-size package (CSP) developed by National Semiconductor [21] COB: Chip on board: Bare die supplied without a package. It is mounted directly to the PCB using bonding wires and covered with a blob of black Epoxy. [22] Also used for LEDs. In LEDs, transparent epoxy or a silicon caulk-like material that may contain a phosphor is ...
Discrete transistors can be individually packaged transistors or unpackaged transistor chips. Transistors come in many different semiconductor packages (see image). The two main categories are through-hole (or leaded ), and surface-mount , also known as surface-mount device ( SMD ).
A reference designator unambiguously identifies the location of a component within an electrical schematic or on a printed circuit board.The reference designator usually consists of one or two letters followed by a number, e.g. C3, D1, R4, U15.
A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic signals and electrical power. Field-effect transistors (FET) MOSFET (metal–oxide–semiconductor FET) – by far the most widely manufactured electronic component (also known as MOS transistor) [ 6 ] [ 7 ]
The 2N3904 is an NPN transistor that can only switch one-third the current of the 2N2222 but has otherwise similar characteristics. The 2N3904 exhibits its forward gain (beta) peak at a lower current than the 2N2222, and is useful in amplifier applications with reduced I c , e.g., (gain peak at 10 mA for the 2N3904 but 150 mA for the 2N2222).
A small outline transistor (SOT) is a family of small footprint, discrete surface mount transistor commonly used in consumer electronics. The most common SOT are SOT23 variations,. [ 1 ] SOT23-5 differs from SOT23 in a wider body of 1.6 mm (0.063 in) instead of 1.3 mm (0.051 in).
Size comparison of BJT transistor packages, from left to right: SOT-23, TO-92, TO-126, TO-3. The case is molded around the transistor elements in two parts; the face is flat, usually bearing a machine-printed part number (some early examples had the part number printed on the top surface instead). The back is semi-circularly-shaped.
