Surface Mount Device Identification

Unfortunately each device code is not necessarily unique.

Surface mount device identification.

Open the surface audio app select settings next to surface headphones then select about. An electrical component mounted in this manner is referred to as a surface mount device smd in industry this approach has largely replaced the through hole technology construction method of fitting components in large part because smt allows. To identify a particular smd device first identify the package style and note the id code printed on the device. Surface mount technology or smt is the name of the method used for producing an smd.

Under devices select surface headphones then select device details. This search engine designed to help identify the part from this code. Select the start button then type system information. To look up a coded device click on the first character of the device code in the table on the left.

Select system information in the list of results. The serial number is listed there. Electrolytic capacitor bottom view 5. The surface mount device code book r p blackwell gm4pmk.

Electrolytic capacitor side view 4. The surface mount resistor code systems provide are mainly used to enable service repair and fault finding. Enter package marking and press search. Modern surface mount electronic components are often too small to write the part number on so a 2 3 or 4 digit code is often used.

A case tantalum bottom and side 2. During manufacture the resistors are held either in tapes that are reeled or in hoppers used for the surface mount machines. The model info for your surface will appear in the value column next to system model. Instead a somewhat arbitrary coding system has grown up where the device package carries a simple two or three character id code.

Find system model under the item column. You ll find the serial number there. Surface mount technology smt is a method in which the electrical components are mounted directly onto the surface of a printed circuit board pcb. Now look up the code in the alphanumeric listing which forms the main part of this book by clicking on the first character shown in the left menu.
