We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Surface mount devices", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
Start with the news release Test arm probe enables precise positioning from OptoTherm, which we summarised at the time by saying "PCB test arm probe features a heavy base and flexible shaft that make positioning to a test point a simple process". A few weeks before, we featured the news release PIR sensor enables much smaller designs from Murata Electronics (UK): "Surface mount pyroelectric infra-red sensor offers dramatically reduced footprint, easy automatic PCB mounting and lower cost".
In February 2007, we covered the news from Free2move concerning its F2M03GLA - take a look at Bluetooth modules offer enhanced datarates which says: "General-purpose embedded Bluetooth modules are fully compliant with the Bluetooth v2.0+EDR standard".
Take a look also at the news release from Optek Technology, Emitters and sensors are in surface-mount packages, as well as More options for multifunction ATE system from Aeroflex, and SMT resistors approach wirewound performance from IRC Wirewound and Film Technologies.
