	Surface-mount technology -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Surface mount technology (SMT) is a method for constructing (Click link for more info and facts about electronic) electronic circuits in which the components are mounted directly onto the surface of (Click link for more info and facts about printed circuit board) printed circuit boards (PCBs).
		One technique for assembly coats the pads with a thin layer of (An alloy (usually of lead and tin) used when melted to join two metal surfaces) solder paste, which also acts as a temporary adhesive to hold the component in place during (Fastening firmly together) soldering.
		The (A phenomenon at the surface of a liquid caused by intermolecular forces) surface tension in the liquid solder prevents the component from sliding off while the solder is liquid.

	Surface mount part types & jargon
		Surface mount discrete components (transistors, resistors, diodes, etc.) come in a variety of sizes -- you'll have to be careful when you buy them that you're buying something small enough for your purposes, but not too small to work with by hand.
		The pinouts for surface mount ICs are exactly the same as for the familiar DIP packages (but on a smaller scale, of course).Accordingly, the numbering of IC IDs is also the same, with the exception of the ID suffix (which identifies the package type):
		This means that surface mount ICs should work without issues for bicores, but you should do your homework (and "de-rate" the spec current capability) before using one for a motor driver.

	Using surface mount parts
		Surface mount components don't require you to drill lots of small holes in your PCBs (although for double-sided boards you still need holes for connecting "vias").
		Surface mount components are, at least small; some can be less than 1mm on a side.
		Surface mount components are not as easily-available as their "through-hole" cousins.

	Surface Mount Diodes from Rectron (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A surface mount diode is a specialized electronic component with two electrodes called the anode and the cathode.The fundamental property of a surface mount diode is its tendency to conduct electric current in only one direction.
		If the cathode is positive with respect to the anode, is at the same voltage as the anode, or is negative by an amount less than the forward breakover voltage, then the surface mount diode does not conduct current.
		This is a simplistic view, but is true for surface mount diodes operating as rectifiers, switches, and limiters.

		Surface mount technology is a method for constructing electronic circuits in which the components are mounted directly onto the surface of printed circuit boards.
		In industry it has largely replaced the previous construction method of fitting components with wire leads into holes in the circuit board (also called through-hole technology).

		Reflow soldering is where you screen print solder paste onto the PCB land pads, placing the SMT component on the pad, and passing the assembly thru a reflow oven to melt the solder and produce the solder bond.
		Wave soldering is where you glue the SMT component onto the bottomside of the PCB and then passing the assembly thru a wave solder to produce the solder connection.
		Anchor the string with an alligator clip or hemostats to the board, and then gently pull the free end away from the chip as close to the surface of the board as possible, while heating the pins where the force of the is applied.

		As the solder paste reflows, flux and other active ingredients in the solder cause outgassing.
		These gases get trapped under a relatively large surface like the base of the pin.
		The trapped gasses create voids in the solder that are clearly visible when the pin is pulled off or the solder joint is cross-sectioned.

	"Prototyping With Surface Mount Components" by Pegasus Technologies
		The surface mount components are physically smaller than their through-hole equivalents, so they are less affected by parasitic effects.
		The quickest and least damage-prone method of unsoldering large surface mount integrated circuits is to use a stainless steel shim in an exacto-knife handle.
		In conclusion, I have found that the proper tools make prototyping with surface mount components easier and faster than any of the traditional prototype methods.
