SURFACE MOUNT INTERCONNECTS (SMIs)
Jumpers from Teknoflex
General Description
Surface mount interconnects (SMIs) developed by Teknoflex are the world's
first fully machine placeable interconnection component.
These products which are supplied in standard 13 inch (330mm) diameter reels of 1500 circuits are available with 4 to 22 conductors on a 0.93mm pitch and with 10 to 40 conductors on a 0.50mm pitch.
Extensive development by Teknoflex has enabled the company to achieve a level of co-planarity which allows the SMI to be accurately placed by all industry standard "pick & place" machines.
The SMIs are assembled directly into solder paste in the same way and during the same process cycle as all other components are placed. The solder joints are made during the reflow process again utilizing industry standard equipment.
It is an ideal low cost product for board to board interconnection. The constructions and materials have been specifically selected to provide the most reliable and cost effective solution.
Applications
The SMI technology has been successfully employed in many applications including
high volume automotive, medical, computer, power supplies, sensors and optical
equipment.
