The future of electronics is headed for miniaturization through surface mount technology (SMT). Learn about this important technology and practice SMT component soldering with this comprehensive kit.

Virtually all new high tech products utilise SMT design and components. Two main problems present when working with SMT: extremely small parts (some the size of a pin head!), and, unlike through hole parts, SMT components are soldered directly on to the surface of the PC board. This is an entirely new method of soldering, and it takes practice to get it right!

Taking this course and practising on the nifty little kit will give you experience working with surface mount components, preparing you for the future of electronics. It includes the PC board, all the SMT and other components required, and a comprehensive training course covering all aspects of SMT soldering, desoldering, removing, and component placement.

The finished project is a cool little Decision Maker that includes 6 flashing SMT LEDs, complete with a professional overlay panel. The completed Decision Maker runs on a standard 9V battery, sold separately.
