This 16-up matrix array SMT wave soldering fixture features 16 small PCB cavities arranged in matrix layout. It maximizes single-pass output for tiny circuit boards in high volume SMT wave soldering.
This 16-up matrix array SMT wave soldering fixture is purpose-built for miniature small PCBs, adopting a 4×4 matrix cavity layout to fit sixteen circuit boards in one carrier. The outer orange high-temperature frame protects the composite base from rail friction and tin splash during wave soldering. Spring loaded positioning latches are mounted on four corners to hold each PCB flat and prevent floating while contacting molten solder. CNC precision cutouts selectively expose through-hole pads while fully shielding delicate top-side SMD components. The matrix design drastically improves production throughput for small PCBs, reducing fixture changeover frequency on busy SMT lines. High-temperature composite material maintains stable dimension under repeated thermal shock, suitable for continuous 24-hour mass production.
