movie Watch A Quick Flash On the SchmartBoard System

The SchmartBoard system is the fastest and easiest electronic circuit prototyping system ever conceived. The system supports through hole and surface mount components. Whether you are a seasoned engineer, a professor looking for a better tool to teach with, a student who needs to get that senior project completed or a hobbyist who needs to solder a surface mount component, SchmartBoard is the best solution. If you are a first time SchmartBoard user, the best way to get started is a combination pack.

SchmartBoard offers two types of surface mount products. The original SchmartBoard is for those with advanced soldering skills. How it works. The SchmartBoard|ez is for people who may not have advanced soldering skills, first-timers, or just anyone who wants to have a fast, easy, and hassle-free experience. SchmartBoard|ez instructions.

SchmartBoard is the only prototyping system that allows one to work on one circuit block at a time, test the blocks individually, and then physically connect the blocks together. This is why we call them "Electronic Circuit Building Blocks". The patent pending SchmartBridge is what makes this possible.

How It Works

Step 1.   Select Boards:  Select the boards that you will need for the project.
 
  Tip  Print out a mechanical drawing for each of the boards that you will be using, and map out the placement of components and connections before doing it on the SchmartBoards.
 
Step 2. Connect Components:   Solder the components to each board.
 
  Tip  Segment your project into blocks to take advantage of the pre-routed traces on SchmartBoard, this minimizes the number of wires needed on each SchmartBoard.
 
Step 3. Connect Boards:  Using the mechanical bridges connect the boards together. You will notice two slots on each side of the SchmartBoard. The bridges have two notches that fit the slots. (Figure 1-4)
 
Step 4. Connect Wires:  Connect the wires. We have included wires and male headers in our combination and multi-packs. Use the headers to connect the wires.
 
Step 5. Test and make modifications:  Modifications can be made simply as needed.
 
  Tip  Glue can be used to make the board more rigid. Do this only after you are satisfied with the final configuration. (See Figure 3)

where the mechanical bridge shows
through to make board rigid.)

SchmartBoardEZ Instructions:
SchmartBoardEZ uses a new patent pending technology to make hand soldering surface mount components simple. There are two reasons that it has been difficult in the past to hand-solder surface mount components. First it is hard to correctly place the chips on the pads and keep them aligned. Secondly, it is difficult to hand-solder such tiny areas. Please follow these instructions to assure success.
 
Place the chip Step 1: Place the chip

What makes SchmartBoardEZ so revolutionary is that the solder mask (green part of the board) is higher than the electronic pads (silver part). This is the opposite of all other circuit boards you've seen. This will allow you to easily place the chip on the pads because these pads are in grooves. The chip legs fit in the grooves and the chip holds in place.
 
Chip legs are in the grooves
Chip legs are in the grooves, thus touching the pads and holding the chip in place.
 
Put masking tape on one side of chip Step 2: Put masking tape on one side of the chip to hold it in place   

This will keep the chip aligned and keep both hands free to easily solder the board.
 
Put solder flux along base of chip Step 3: Put solder flux along the base of the chip where it touches the board

Flux only the side that you are currently soldering (the side without masking tape).
 
Solder each chip leg to SchmartBoardEZ Step 4: Solder each chip leg to the SchmartBoardEZ by pushing the solder from the outside of the groove to the chip leg

You do not need to add any solder to this board. All the solder you need is already on the board. Put the soldering iron tip in the first electronic pad groove at the outside point of the groove and push it forward until it touches the chip leg. Do not put pressure in a downward position, the solder will melt and be pushed towards the leg. Do this in each groove that has a leg.


Step 5: Remove the masking tape and repeat steps 3 and 4 for other side(s) of the chip.

Important Note: The tip of your soldering iron should be equal to or smaller than the pitch of your chip. So a .65mm pitch chip should be soldered with a tip equal to or smaller than .65mm. Failure to do this may potentially create shorts and damage the board.
