Another benefit of SMD LED Displays is the component density that can be achieved due to the enhanced digit to casing ratio. A 0.4 inch digit height having a casing height of 18.75mm in a through-hole package would only have a 15mm package height in an SMD package. Additionally, the pitch between digits is also tighter. The combination of both aspects provides an advantage in reducing board space allocation. This allows additional components to be placed and helps to reduce the overall required size of the finished product.
