Reflow Solderable SMT Nuts for Automated PCB Assembly | Custom
Thread Sizes & Rapid Prototyping
1.SMT NutsQuick Detail
Our SMT Nuts are designed for modern electronic assembly, enabling
automated, high-precision placement of nuts. These nuts are fixed
via reflow soldering alongside other SMD components during PCB
assembly, providing a solid threaded base for subsequent stacked
installation or external connections. This process eliminates the
steps of traditional stud welding or through-hole installation,
significantly improving assembly efficiency, consistency, and
saving board space.
2.SMT NutsProduct Description
In electronic designs pursuing thin, light, compact, and high
reliability, the mounting method of every component is critical.
Our SMT Nuts, as an innovative interconnection solution, seamlessly
integrate sturdy metal threaded interfaces into the SMT production
flow. They are precision-designed with a flat soldering surface at
the bottom to ensure good solder wetting and adhesion strength,
while their structure effectively withstands the thermal stress of
reflow soldering. This provides your product with repeatable,
reliable mechanical connection points, ideal for interface
locations requiring frequent mating/unmating or bearing certain
stress.
3.SMT Nuts Product Features & Advantage
Feature | Advantage to You |
Compatible with Full Auto SMT Lines | Standard tape and reel packaging is compatible with pick-and-place
machines, enabling high-speed, accurate automatic placement,
greatly improving PCB assembly efficiency and reducing labor costs
and errors. |
Excellent Solder Reliability & Consistency | Optimized bottom plating and structure design ensure the formation
of uniform, robust solder joints during reflow, providing stable
mechanical strength and electrical grounding (if required). |
Provides Reliable Threaded Base for PCB | Creates strong metal threaded holes on thin PCBs, effectively
preventing thread stripping, and withstands multiple tightenings
and removals, extending connection point lifespan. |
Saves Valuable PCB Space & Layers | No need for through-holes, saving routing space, allowing threaded
connections on the solder side, simplifying stacked design and
housing mounting. |
Stringent Quality & Traceability Control | From raw material to finished product, quality control follows
strict electronics industry standards, ensuring batch-to-batch
stability in dimensional accuracy, plating thickness, and
solderability. |

5.SMT NutsProduct Application
Our SMT Nuts are the ideal choice for achieving high-density,
high-reliability electronic connections, widely used in:
Communication & Networking Equipment: Used for shielding can fixation in 5G base station modules, PCB
inter-board support and connection in routers/switches, providing
reliable grounding and mechanical fixation.
Automotive Electronics: Applied in engine control units (ECUs), infotainment systems,
housing-to-PCB grounding connections for vehicle sensors, meeting
vibration resistance and high-reliability requirements.
Industrial Control & Automation: Serve as mounting standoffs for PLC modules and I/O modules,
enabling quick locking of modules to backplanes or chassis,
facilitating maintenance and upgrades.
Consumer Electronics & Computing: Used for fixing Solid State Drives (SSDs), connecting internal
brackets in laptops, and providing auxiliary support points for
high-end graphics cards, saving internal space.
