We offer prototype and production Surface Mount Carriers (also known as SMT carriers). Our production carriers are made with the traditional Durostone® material however, our prototype carriers are made with stainless steel or FR4 (PCB material) to reduce cost and shorten the lead time. SMT carriers are very versatile, they can be used to support, protect and transport PCBs of different sizes and shapes including flex PCBs through the entire SMT process.
