Hi all,

Can someone tell me the time frame when surface mount technology started being used in production. this to settle a friendly debate, sort of  a memory challenge  you might say.  I don't seem to recall seeing SMT pads on boards before 1982-84 time frame ( maybe even later) . A friend of mine seems to think they where in use in the 70s. Fact is I really don't know when they started showing up on designs.  God I think I losing it!  Must be getting old...hehe..

Anyway.... Any help would be appreciated.
