Universal Wave Solder Fixtures

Adjustable PCB Support for High-Mix Wave Soldering

Universal Solder Fixtures provide a flexible, cost-effective solution for supporting printed circuit boards during the wave solder process. Designed for prototype, NPI, and low-to-medium volume production, these adjustable fixtures securely hold a wide variety of PCB sizes and shapes without requiring dedicated tooling for every assembly. The result is improved process consistency, faster changeovers, and reliable PCB support while minimizing tooling costs.

Benefits

  • Process multiple PCB sizes and shapes with a single fixture
  • Converts irregular or non-conveyor-friendly boards into compatible assemblies
  • Provides stable PCB support throughout the wave solder process
  • Adjustable design accommodates a wide range of PCB widths
  • Reduces tooling investment for prototype and low-volume production
  • Speeds product changeovers between different assemblies
  • Improves process consistency and repeatability
  • Helps protect PCBs from flexing during soldering
  • Simple setup with ergonomic operation
  • Ideal for engineering, NPI, and short production runs
