HOW TO QUOTE AND ORDER YOUR SURFACE MOUNT CARRIERS

You can request a custom quote or quote and order your SMT carrier online. Please follow the next steps to quote and order online.
  1. Enter the part number and revision of your pallet. It is very important to assign a part number and a revision to any custom part for identification.
  2. Attached a zip file containing the following information:
    1. Gerber or Step files
    2. Photos of previously assembled boards (if available)
    3. Special instructions
  3. Select the material thickness. If you are not sure what to select, please request a custom quote.
  4. Enter the approximate carrier length and width in inches.
  5. Select the type of pressure holder and quantity needed. Select none if your carrier does not require pressure holders.
  6. Enter the number of carriers you would like to order in the “Quantity” field in the upper right corner of the screen. An automatic discount is applied depending on the quantity.

USING SURFACE MOUNT CARRIERS DURING THE SMT PROCESS

Whether you are using an automatic stencil printer or a prototype stencil, an automatic pick and place machine or a pair of tweezers, an automatic 8-zone reflow oven or a toaster oven, sometimes you just need a surface mount carrier to get the job done. These are typical instances of when you may need to use carriers.

  • PCBs that are too small for conveyor systems.
  • PCBs that too thick or too thin.
  • Odd-shape boards.
  • Flimsy boards. Flex and rigid-flex PCBs usually require support during the SMT process.
  • PCBs with SMT components are too close to the edge of boards.
