The What, the Whys, and the Hows of SMT Stencils for Prototype PCBs
There are plenty of different kinds of circuit boards, but in general, there are three major types of printed PCB fabrication: single-sided, double-sided, and multi-layered. However, no matter the type, one thing is for sure and that is the need for SMT stencils. In the world of circuit board prototyping, an SMT stencil is needed Read More
Introduction to SMT Stencils for Printed Circuit Boards
Also known as solder paste stencils or solder stencils, they are usually sheets of stainless steel (or polymer) with apertures. They are designed to deposit solder paste on printed circuit boards but they can also be used to deposit other materials like glue, flux or thermal grease onto a substrate.
