Solder Stencil Vacuum Table - The Byte Sized Engineer | DigiKey

When it comes to assembling and soldering PCBs, there are a lot of different approaches you can take. Sometimes, Zach hand-places and hand-solders each individual component, but if he has a lot of boards to do, it's definitely faster to order a solder stencil. However, solder stencils can be tricky to get right. In his experience, if he doesn't have them perfectly flat, he’ll often deposit too much solder paste, which causes problems down the road. In this video Zach tries to solve this problem by building a solder stencil vacuum table.
