Yup. Here's a communications card which I gave an emergency repair in September. It's ironic that these almost microscopic traces carry commands to a motor controller whose output uses conductors the thickness of a broomstick (1500 Amps at 600 Volts).

Thanks to the fragility of this SMD connector, a minor accident resulted in a local factory losing half its production capacity. (And they were facing a three day delay to take delivery of a new com board.)

I can see how that would happen. There doesn't appear to be any mechanical attachment for the connector. It's all dependent on solder.
