What is the reason why SMD capacitors are so widely used in the industry?

Advantages 1: The size of the chip capacitor is small, light, and easy to store and transportation

The volume and The weight is only about 1/10 of that of traditional plug-in components. After using SMT, The volume of electronic products is reduced by 40%~60%, and the weight is reduced by 60%~80%. High reliability, strong vibration resistance, low solder joint defect rate, good high-frequency characteristics, reduced electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, easy to achieve automation, improved production efficiency, and reduced costs by 30% to 50%

Advantages 2: Material and energy saving Equipment, manpower, and working hours

Just like the commonly used SMT resistor 08px; The 05 or 0603 packaging is much smaller than traditional inline resistors. Dozens of inline resistors can fill a bag, but switching to patch resistors is enough to hold thousands or even tens of thousands. If the power can meet the requirements, surface mount devices are generally preferred

Advantages 3: Easy chip capacitor placement Welding and dismantling

Chip capacitors do not require via holes. Use less tin. Removing chip capacitors is also less likely to damage the circuit board. During the welding process of SMD capacitors, components are placed on PCB dry plates by machines, which greatly improves production efficiency
