ABSTRACT:
A universal fixture for holding printed circuit board assemblies during stencil printing and other PCB assembly processes. In one embodiment, a universal printed circuit board holder has a plurality of supports adapted to be moveably connected to a platform of a printed circuit board processing machine. Each support has a connection end for engaging the platform, a support end to support a first side of a printed circuit board populated with components, and an attachment element at the support end to releasably hold the PCB to the support. The connection ends of the supports are moveably attachable to the platform at a plurality of different positions to selectively locate the attachment elements in alignment with support points on the first side of the printed circuit board. Accordingly, the universal printed circuit board holder preferably supports the populated first side of the printed circuit board in a manner that allows the second side to be manipulated by the printed circuit board processing machine.
