Surface Mount Device - a newer way to solder parts to circuit cards while avoiding soldering and bending wires and drilling holes in the circuit cards for those wires. The parts are glued to the board with high temperature epoxy and soldered in an oven that melts solder on the boards to solder on the parts. The parts can be very tiny, so magnifyling glasses are often used. Requires re-equipping and re-training people who assemble and repair the new style boards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106519 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
