MEP EP#380: The Simplest SMT Component… In The World
Stephen’s CNC steps closer to being completed on this CNC electronics centric podcast! We discuss design snafus and problems with poorly constructed CNC controllers and design misses in the mechanical assembly. Then Parker receives a newsletter that has the simplest SMT component in the world. What could that component even be used for?

The Simplest SMT component… In The World
- Harwin Surface Mountable Contact Pads
- Marketing material states
- Surface mountable contact pad, ideal as a mating area for Spring Contacts, Spring Loaded Contacts and Spring Loaded Contact Connectors.
- Any reason to use these?
- Datasheet shows that the gold thickness is no thicker than normal ENIG
- Contact Pad 0.025um - 0.075um
- IPC-4552 0.05um - 0.20um
- Datasheet shows that the gold thickness is no thicker than normal ENIG
