Quick-Fit SMT Terminals Populate PC Boards

Keystone Electronics’ adds another line to its selection of surface mount (SMT) Quick-Fit PCB terminals in the form of male tab terminals designed and packaged for use with vacuum pick-and-place equipment in the same manner as other surface mount components.

The SMT terminals reduce assembly time by being mounted and processed the same as other SMT components on a PCB. Their three-legged design increases the force necessary to deflect the terminal – keeping and maintaining the terminal perpendicular to the board during and permanently after soldering. Manufactured from Brass with a Tin-plate, the new Quick-Fit surface mount terminals ensure easy reflow soldering for reliable solder joints. Supplied on 13” tape and reel packaging with high temperature Nylon pick pads for pick and place assembly. Caps may be easily removed after the reflow soldering process.
