One of the primary benefits of surface mount
interconnects is the board real estate savings that can result from reducing
the centerline spacing of the leads. While surface mount strips and DIPs
on .100" (2,54mm) pitch might require slightly more space than their
through-hole counterparts, 2mm by 2mm (.079" by .079") and .050"
by .050" (1,27mm by 1,27mm) patterns have become quite common and
offer significant space savings. As surface mount manufacturing processes
become more precise, 1mm pitch is clearly on the horizon as the next generation
of micro-surface mount interconnects.
