|---|---|
| + | [* icon_note] [link|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-mount_technology|Surface-mount soldering|new_window=true] is a process where components are soldered onto the surface of the circuit board. Most electronics manufacturers use surface-mount technology (SMT) because it can be automated and is more cost-effective. |

Robotic arms precisely [link|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pick-and-place_machine|pick and place|new_window=true] each component onto the board. The board passes through an oven, where the solder paste melts and solders the components to the board. |
