   Style       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Tool/Chamber Mount
 
     Devices have a small form factor and can be mounted on a chassis or to a cabinet.

   Open Frame
 
     Open frame power supplies have all circuitry and components exposed. The power supply is simply a circuit board where all the circuitry and components are attached on one side of it.
 
   Board Mount
 
     Through hole technology (THT) mounts components on a printed circuit board (PCB) by inserting component leads through holes in the board and then soldering the leads in place on the opposite side of the board.

Surface mount technology (SMT) adds components to a printed circuit board (PCB) by soldering component leads or terminals to the top surface of the board. SMT components have a flat surface that is soldered to a flat pad on the face of the PCB. Typically, the PCB pad is coated with a paste-like formulation of solder and flux. With careful placement, SMT components on solder paste remain in position until elevated temperatures, usually from an infrared oven, melt the paste and solder the component leads to the PCB pads.
