SMT and THT Components

PCB Package:

            This is like a case to carry a die / IC and it is used to make connection between the die of an IC to the PCB traces through their pins around the packages.


The die will be placed at the center of the package and it will be connected to the package pin by golden wire, the package body will always be plastic or resin.
Package will be of two types as like components,
         Surface Mount Package
         Through Hole Package


The central die will be same for example a micro controller but it can be available in both cases or packages, surface mount package will be more effective than through hole package because of its lesser pin length, so it would have less pin Inductive than THT and there by reduced EMI.

Where,
A - Clearance between package body and PCB.
H - Height of package from pin tip to top of package.
T - Thickness of pin.
L - Length of package body only.
LW - Pin width.
LL - Pin length from package to pin tip.
P - Pin pitch (distance between two pins from center to center).
WB - Width of the package body only.
WL - Length from pin tip to pin tip on the opposite side.
Rp – Row pitch (distance between two pins from row to row).

From these two types, it will be sub divided into different categories likes
         Passives
         ICs
         Connectors
SMD Passive packages types are
         Flat Chip
         Molded Tantalum
         MELF

Flat Chip Packages:

The most commonly used passives like Resistors, Capacitor and Inductors will be in this package type.


The name of this package type will be denoted in 4 letter word, mostly preferred in numbers; it would specify the dimension of the package. The first two numbers denote the length and next two numbers will denote the width
Component Identifier                                                                         mm / inch

1005 / 0402                                                                             1.0 x 0.5 / 0.040x 0.020
1608 / 0603                                                                             1.6 x 0.8 / 0.060 x 0.030
2012 / 0805                                                                             2.0 x 1.2 / 0.080 x 0.050
3216 / 1206                                                                             3.2 x 1.6 / 0.120 x 0.060
3225 / 1210                                                                             3.2 x 2.5 / 0.120 x 0.100
5025 / 2010                                                                             5.0 x 2.5 / 0.200 x 0.100
6332 / 2512                                                                             6.3 x 3.2 / 0.250 x 0.120

Molded Tantalum packages:

            Generally all polarity capacitors are in these packages, it can either be denoted by 4 letter word or by case code.



EIA case code                         Metric size                               mm
Case A                                                3216                                        3.2 x 1.6
Case B                                     3528                                        3.5 x 2.8
Case C                                     6032                                        6.0 x 3.2
Case D                                                7343                                        7.3 x 4.3

MELF Packages:

 These packages are in cylindrical shape and MELF is acronym for Metal Electrode Leadless Face, as name indicates, it does not have the leads. Resistors, Diodes and Fuses will be in this package. As it is in cylindrical shape, it would roll off from the board before assembly, so it is not recommended most of the time.


Capacitors & Resistors                                       Diodes
0805                                                                  SOD 80 Mini MELF (1.6 x 3.5 mm)
1206                                                                  SM1 MELF (2.5 x 5.0 mm)

THT Passive packages types are
         Axial
         Radial

Axial THT Package:

            Diodes & Resistors will be in this type package, as their pins are axial to its body so it is named as Axial packages, while assembling it on PCB, the leads have to be bended and then solder has to be done on this type package.



Radial THT Package:

            Mostly Polarity capacitors will be in this type of package like Electrolytic caps, Tantalum & Aluminum caps and some non polarity caps also will be in this type like Disc Ceramic caps. Their pins will be radial to its body and so it named as Radial package.




Diodes & Transistor Packages:

            Diodes commonly come in Small Outline Diode (SOD) Package and they are
         SOD 123



SMD Transistors come in the following packages (SMALL OUTLINE TRANSISTOR - SOT),

         SOT 23
         SOT 89
         SOT 143
         SOT 223
         SOT 23-5 (Five pins)
         SOT 23-6 (Six pins)
         DPAK
         D2PAK













THT Transistors come in the following packages (TRANSISTOR OUTLINE - TO)
         TO-52
         TO-66
         TO-92
         TO-220
         TO-259
