SMD Capacitor (Surface-Mount Device)

An SMD capacitor is designed for surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly, where components are placed directly onto PCB pads. SMD capacitors eliminate through-hole drilling, enabling automated high-speed assembly, higher component density, and better high-frequency performance.
