A surface-mount device or SMD is an electronic device for which the components are mounted or placed directly onto the surface of the PCB. An SMT component is usually smaller than its through-hole counterpart because it has either smaller leads or no leads at all.

Through-hole technology (also spelt "thru-hole"), refers to the mounting scheme used for electronic components that involve the use of leads on the components that are inserted into holes drilled in printed circuit boards (PCB) and soldered to pads on the opposite side by the manual assembly (hand placement).

BGA stands for Ball-Grid Array. It is a type of surface-mount packaging system primarily used for integrated circuits. This package is helpful in permanently mounting devices on microprocessors. It provides more interconnections than dual-line or flat packages.

TQFP stands for Thin Quad Flat Packages and is suited for customers that are looking for cost-effective and yet standardized packages. You can still choose from a range of body sizes and lead counts to customize the package.

When we ask you to denote the `Assembly Side', we are trying to understand on which side you want the components assembled - the top, the bottom, or both the sides.

You will need this information only if you have SMD components. If you are not using SMD components, none of the sides on your PCB would require a stencil.

Conformal coating is a specialized polymeric film that is applied to circuit boards, components, and electronic devices to provide protection against harsh environmental conditions, such as humidity, heat, corrosion, and contamination.

Conformal coating plays a crucial role in enhancing the durability and reliability of PCB assemblies. It provides increased dielectric resistance, operational integrity, and safeguards against corrosive atmospheres, humidity, fungus, and airborne contamination, ensuring the longevity and performance of electronic devices.

There are various types of conformal coatings available, including Polyurethane, Parylene, Silicone, Acrylic, and Epoxy. Each type offers specific properties and benefits, such as abrasion resistance, solvent resistance, ease of removal, or comprehensive environmental protection.

The selection of the appropriate conformal coating depends on factors such as the severity of protection required, application method, rework feasibility, and specific operational requirements of your electronics.
