Laird’s soft SMD (Surface Mount Device) grounding contacts are packaged with tape-and-reel, the same method of other components applied in surface mount technology. All contacts are solder reflow compatible and designed to be suitable for automatic processing. They offer low weight, a high compression range, and are suitable for automatic SMD processing.
Soft HB-SMD foam contacts consist of a tin/copper PI film over polyurethane foam with a rectangular shape (SLG series) or an hourglass shape (SLH series).
Soft HT-SMD foam contacts consist of a tin/copper PI film over silicone foam. Laird’s SLM series is a standard type with a rectangular shape. The SSM series resembles the SLM series but with lower compression force. The SLN series has an hourglass shape or can come in a user-defined customized shape.
