Press Fit Support Plates

Precision-Machined Rigid Support for Board Protection

Support Plates are precision-machined fixtures engineered to provide rigid, stable support beneath the printed circuit board during press fit assembly. Designed to accurately support connector insertion forces, these tooling plates protect both the PCB and components from damage while improving setup efficiency and production throughput. Available in application-specific or universal configurations, Pentagon EMS Support Plates deliver reliable, repeatable performance for both prototype and high-volume manufacturing.
