Customized Surface Mount PCB Stencil

If you want to surface mount components onto a PCB prototype board(printed circuit board), what is the easilest way to solder that? Outsourcing that to an PCB assembly factory in China, could be expensive. By using a soldering iron could be a hard job for you and you will have no access to pads underneath some components. The solution is to use a stencil could be a idea choice. And Linked Electronics could supply customized PCB SMT stencil with different sizes this will be much cheaper and convenient compared with framed stencil.

Solder paste is applied using the stencil onto the board, the stencil is then removed and components are positioned. By applying heat to the entire board, the solder paste flows around the component pins.

This stencils could be used many times, but please make sure it is cleaned after you use it.

Files need to be provided in standard PCB gerber files, PCB file or CAD DXF format which can be generated by most PCB design software. Please ensure the file(s) submitted contain all the paste that you need.

How to Order: At the moment, we don't have file upload functionality on our website so you will need to email Linked Electronics, the PCB supplier in China at sales@linked-elec.com

Be careful when you take out the PCB SMT stencil, because of no frame, the stencil is quite sharp.

Return and cancellation policy for SMT stencils

Because SMT stencils designs customized products, finished stencils or returned stencils have little or no value to anyone else. Therefore, we do not accept returned stencils. If you cancel an stencil order prior to manufacturing, 5USD set-up fee will be charged. If you cancel after approving the preview file but before the stencil ships, only shipping fee will be refunded.
