What is the difference between SMD shrapnel and SMT patch

First of all, let's introduce SMD and SMT in detail:
SMD: It is the abbreviation of Surface Mounted Devices, which means: surface mount components, which is one of the SMT (Surface Mount Technology) electronic devices. In the initial stages of manufacturing electronic PCB circuit boards, via installation is carried out entirely by human service. After the release of the first automation technology, they could place some simple foot components, but the complex components still had to be made by hand to carry out the wave soldering machine. Surface mounted components (Surface Mounted components) are key rectangular frame built-in components, cylindrical built-in components, composite built-in components, and special-shaped built-in components.
SMD shrapnel imported beryllium copper pressed 100,000 times without deformation
SMT is surface assembly technology (surface mount technology) (abbreviation of Surface Mount Technology), which is the most fashionable technology and processing technology in the electronic device assembly manufacturing industry at this stage.
What is the difference between SMD shrapnel and SMT patch? Simply put, SMD shrapnel is a patch element, which is a product; SMT patch is patch processing, which is a processing technology.
At present, SMD shrapnel is made of imported beryllium copper material with electromagnetic compatibility shielding effect, which can be repeatedly pressed 100,000 times without deformation, and the shielding effect is excellent, which is widely used in new energy vehicles, smart home, State Grid and other industries, such as SAIC, CIC, GUODIAN NARI and so on are using our SMD shrapnel. In order for the client to use our PCB board grounding shrapnel more conveniently and quickly, all SMD shrapnel products shipped to the client use the installation method of carrier tape reel, which is more convenient for the client to carry out SMT patch processing and improve the production efficiency and capacity of the client.
