Framed SMT Stencils

Framed SMT Stencils Description:

SMT Framed Stencils are laser cut solder paste stencils designed to work on SMT printing machines. These laser cut stencils are permanently glued into a frame. These framed stencils are are designed for highly repeatable continuous operation in volume production. They are well-suited for volume production assembly, Shipment is 24 hours from approval of checkplot.

BEST SMT framed stencils provide for optimal solder paste volume control and can be used for fine pitch SMT printing.

Key features:

* High quality nickel-stainless PHD material (much better than standard stainless steel in terms of its release properties) means smoother aperture walls and cleaner release characteristics

* Clean Laser-Cut Apertures

* Excellent Print Performance

* Multitude of different frame materials, frame colors and sizes are available in the BEST SMT framed stencil product line

Framed stencils can either fall under the fixed frame or universal frame category  (to save on stencil cost and the amount of space taken up by SMT Framed Stencils after many years). The fixed frame SMT stencils are available in a vareity of differnt size ranges. They either use  a hollow or solid core aluminum frame in order to hold the stencil. In this case the SMT framed stencil of this type is permanently "fixed" to the frame. In the case of universal frames, the stencil is held within a frame that makes it possible to make changes to the unit, as they are needed. The advantage of a universal frame stencil is that the space that they take up as wel as the cost can be reduced. This is because only a new frameless stencil needs to be ordered each time instead of a stencil that's affixed to a frame.

In addition to these product features you get 10+ years of experience in designing and cutting stencils for PCB assembly and rework. Unlike many of the other shops we actually perform the rework/repair and PCB assembly services on site. This means we have knowledgeable process engineers who know how to assemble and rework boards whihc means you are tapping in to this experience. Our award-winning customer service staff will actually answer the phone and speak with you!
