Holddowns

PCB and Component Holddowns

Pentagon EMS manufactures a wide range of stock PCB and component holddowns that cover virtually any PCB or component retention scenario. If the need arises for custom holdowns on a specific application, we can design and manufacture that as well.

Features:

– Spring Loaded to apply even force to secure PCB or components
– SMT holddowns designed to mount flush to below flush to permit processing through screening and reflow
