Arduino Uno SMD R3
5V Logic
16 MHz
USB Type-B
Overview
The Arduino Uno SMD R3 is a classic, beginner-friendly microcontroller board built around the
ATmega328P in a surface-mount package. Functionally it’s the same as the standard UNO, but the
microcontroller is soldered directly to the PCB (SMD) instead of being socketed. This makes the board slightly
more compact and robust in production use. It’s ideal for education, prototyping, and embedded projects that
need reliable 5 V I/O, abundant community examples, and full compatibility with the Arduino IDE.
Key Features
- Fully compatible with Arduino IDE (Windows/Mac/Linux).
- 14 digital I/O (6 PWM) + 6 analog inputs – perfect for sensors, LEDs, drivers, and shields.
- On-board 16 MHz crystal, power regulation, and auto-reset over USB for easy uploading.
- Robust 5 V ecosystem with thousands of shields, libraries, and tutorials.
- SMD design improves durability for classrooms and installations.
Typical Applications
- STEM education, labs, and workshops
- Home automation prototypes (relays, sensors, keypads)
- Robotics (motor drivers, encoders, ultrasonic sensors)
- Data logging (temperature, humidity, light) with SD shields
- Wearables / art installations (LED matrices, addressable strips via level shifting)

Power & Compatibility Notes
- Power via USB Type-B, VIN (7–12 V), or the 5 V pin (regulated 5 V only).
- Compatible with most UNO R3 shields; check pin usage conflicts (D0/D1 for UART, D10–D13 for SPI on ICSP).
- For 3.3 V sensors (e.g., ESP8266 modules), use a bidirectional level shifter.
Package Includes
- 1× Arduino Uno SMD R3 board

Notes
The SMD version is more compact and cost-effective than the DIP version, but the microcontroller is not easily
replaceable by hand. For classrooms that frequently damage chips, consider the DIP (socketed) UNO.
