Many people like to distinguish the inductor from the shape of the inductor (you can also define the inductor from the welding method), so that the description is easy to distinguish, and the distinction is obvious.
To put it simply, the inductor has several long legs. It is commonly called plug-in inductor, DIP inductor. Plug-in inductor is also a general term for inductors. The pins are short and can be surface mounted. The kind of inductor, commonly known as chip inductor, that is, SMD inductor, chip inductor is also very general. Often we will see some places with SMT inductors or SMD inductors.
What is the difference between SMT inductors and SMD inductors?
From a personal point of view, what they are referring to is the chip inductor:
1. SMT is the abbreviation of Surface Mount Technology, which is a circuit assembly technology for soldering components to a specified position on the surface of a printed circuit board. The circuit board does not need to be drilled for component leads. the way.
2. SMD is an abbreviation for Surface Mounted Devices. Both SMT and SMD are related to surface mount, but from their definition, the chip inductor will be written as SMD inductor.
