3M Releases Die Cast Version of Mini Delta Ribbon SMT Right Angle Receptacle.


AUSTIN, Texas -- In order to better serve high-volume manufacturers, 3M recently released a die-cast version of the Mini Delta Ribbon Surface-Mount Technology Surface mount technology (SMT) is a method for constructing electronic circuits in which the components (SMC, or Surface Mounted Components) are mounted directly onto the surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs).  (SMT (1) (Surface Mount Technology) See surface mount.
