What is it?

An easy way to hold down your SMD strips and organize them. Please choose the board you like from the options. Screws are not included. I will add some screws as a option as soon as I receive more.
Please see my video for more explanation, thank you.

Why did you make it?

Because I did not find anything similar to this and did not want to 3D print trays.

What makes it special?

You can easily organize your SMD strips for manual usage and of course use it as a way to hold down your SMD strips in your PNP machine. Please see my video for more explanation. If you have additional questions please feel free to ask.

The size of the board is 100 x 100 mm. The holes to hold down the strips are M3 and the 4 in the corners are M2.

Very nice for small projects

I find it great for organizing small projects using SMD, even without a PNP machine.
My products only have a few chips, and I make them in batches of less than ten.
So I leave the components in one place on this board, one board for each project.
I use a vacuum pen.

This product solves the problem that when you pull the cover tape off a strip,
the parts are prone to jump.
Also, if you uncover a few parts, then bump a strip, the parts spill out.
Then you must reorient the parts.
This board holds the tapes securely in place.
While you are uncovering a strip, the parts stay in place.
Even if you bump the board, the parts usually stay in place.

The low price is an advantage.

You can also write on the black boards with a pencil, to identify parts.

Its not clear to me which product to order, why you would want a white background of different widths.
Its probably obvious to someone with a PNP machine.

One problem is that the holes are not tapped.
You need to adjust the height of the screws to accommodate different thicknesses of tapes.
Self-tapping screws probably work, but I tapped the holes.

I wish the product shipped with screws.
I used ordinary screws salvaged from PC cases.
Their head might be too wide.
That makes the cover tape a little tricky to pull off a little at a time,
when the cover tape is pinched by a screw.

Hi Lloyd,

Thank you for your review and new order as well, greatly appreciate it.

Even though I started to build a PNP machine but never got around to finish it, I am using these trays too. They do have all advantages you listed, one thing I have not yet solved for my personal use is how to stack them on top of each other, maybe a male/female standoff could be adapted, will see.

As for your concern about the holes not tapped, actually they are chosen with the right diameter to use a M3 screws and tap it with the screw itself. Since the screw is stronger and the PCB substrate it goes real easy. I am doing this with all my PCB's that use screws because if you use a tap, the holes end up too loose, this way they stay tight and the screw does not loosen itself and keeps the strips in place.

As for the white strips, the reason behind that is that you might have white paper strips and black plastic strips which will help vision supported PNP machines to see the components with a better contrast. Black strip on white background and the other way around.

As a token of my appreciation I will send you some screws with your new order.

Thanks.

Great quality and functionality.

I am really impressed with the quality and accuracy of these boards. They hold the component strips perfectly and screws are not in the way of the pick up head. I can appreciate the time and effort that went into designing and making these boards. I would recommend them to anyone who has a pick and place machine and wants a place to add a few components for a small run or just for those in between value components. The shipping was fast , about 10 days to the U.S. and everything was well packaged. The seller also answered any questions I had quickly and even threw in some extra hardware to get me started. I’m really happy with my purchase, thank you.
