<p><b>Surface-mount technology</b> (<b>SMT</b>), originally called <b>planar mounting</b>, is a method in which the electrical components are mounted directly onto the surface of a <a href="page.php?w=printed_circuit_board">printed circuit board</a> (PCB). An electrical component mounted in this manner is referred to as a <b>surface-mount device</b> (<b>SMD</b>).
