Customer Testimonials

"Very nice! It's hard to imagine steel being any better than this.The thickness made it easy to work with and there was no concern about creasing it or bearing down hard.I definitely did that. It was chilly in the garage and the solder paste was pretty stiff. The solder looked great even the smallest pads got it right. I'd say you have yourself a winner!"

Frequently Asked Questions

What are PCB Stencils?

PCB Stencils are made from thin material, .003 to .006 thickness. They are made from flexible circuit or steel material. Holes are cut with the use of a CNC Laser Cutter in the exact location where the pads are placed on manufactured PCB boards. The stencil process is done in the latter stage of PCB manufacture after the initial board is produced and just before components are placed on each pad. PCB stencils save much time over hand soldering pads. This is accomplished by placing the stencil directly over the pads, swiping solder paste over the stencil which flows through the laser cut holes onto all the pads. Please see our step-by-step instructions for flexible circuit material stencil application which is presented in detail on our Tutorial Page.

When are PCB Stencils used?

In the manufacture of the printed circuit board process between the creation of the "bare board" and the assembly process.

Why are PCB Stencils used?

To speed up the assembly process and so that component placement will be more accurate
