Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Kit 2 – SMT & Stripboard Format: SMT-C-K2

£41.64

SMT-C-K2 Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Kit 2 – SMT & Stripboard Format. This Surface Mount Technology (SMT) PCB Wiring Kit is designed as an introduction to prototype wiring of SurfaceĀ Mount Technology (SMT). The SMT layout is combined with the Stripboard PCB format. It provides the means to experiment with hand wiring of Surface Mount Devices (SMD’s)

  • Introduction to hand wiring of Surface Mount Devices (SMD’s), using Roadrunner
  • Meets Roadrunner’s philosophy of flexibility and versatility
  • Board layout and guidelines included
  • SMD leads fan out to easy-to-wire solder pads
  • Provision for future piggy-back boards
  • Quick and easy in use

Kit Comprises:

  • Wiring Pencil with brake and bobbin of Solderable Enamel Wire
  • RRB-015 SMT single height, single sided Eurocard combined with Stripboard format, (160mmx100 mm)
  • Tweezers – AA Type
  • Double Sided Solder pins, 1.0mm dia, 100 off (approx.)
  • Bobbin of Tinned Copper Wire – 0.25mm dia. (non-insulated)
  • Board format and SMD footprint list
  • Guidance Notes: Surface Mount Technology PCB Formats & Hand Wiring & Soldering Surface Mount Devices

Health and Safety Caution

When soldering solderable enamel wire, it emits a toxic vapour, toluene diisocyanate, ventilate area well.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the SMT-C-K2 kit?
ā–¶
The kit comprises a wiring pencil with brake and enamel wire bobbin, an SMT single‑height Eurocard combined with stripboard (160 × 100 mm), AA tweezers, 1.0 mm solder pins (100 approx.), tinned copper wire bobbin, plus board format, SMD footprint list, and detailed guidance notes.

What is the purpose of this Surface Mount Technology kit?
ā–¶
It introduces hand‑wiring techniques for surface‑mount devices on a combined SMT and stripboard format, allowing experimentation with SMD fan‑outs and point‑to‑point wiring.

How does the SMT and stripboard format work?
ā–¶
SMD leads fan out to larger solder pads on the board that align with standard 2.54 mm stripboard holes, enabling easy insertion of solder pins and wiring using the stripboard grid.

Are there safety considerations when using the kit?
ā–¶
Yes. When soldering enamelled wire, toxic toluene diisocyanate vapours are produced. Ensure good ventilation or fume extraction and follow standard soldering PPE guidelines.

Can I expand the board for future projects?
ā–¶
The SMT layout provides piggy‑back board provisions, allowing you to stack or attach additional boards for more complex prototyping as your project grows.
