Reliable Board Retention for Wave Soldering and Assembly
Reliable board retention is essential for consistent PCB assembly. Our comprehensive range of PCB and component holddowns is engineered to securely retain boards and components throughout wave solder, screen printing, reflow, inspection, and other manufacturing processes. Our spring-loaded designs apply consistent holding force while allowing quick loading and unloading, helping improve process stability, reduce board movement, and protect critical components. Standard and custom holddown solutions are available to accommodate virtually any PCB configuration, component profile, or manufacturing application.
