What is an SMT Stencil?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SMT stencil, also called PCB stencil, is a precision stainless-steel stencil used in PCB assembly. It features laser-cut apertures aligned with PCB pads to ensure accurate and consistent solder paste deposition, minimizing defects such as bridging or misalignment and enabling reliable, high-quality PCB assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GOJGO Stencil Overview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

GOJGO stencil service is the earliest and most mature manufacturing lines developed after our PCB prototyping service, trusted by millions of engineers worldwide. To ensure consistent and accurate SMT printing, we continuously invest in advanced manufacturing equipment, including over 30 high-precision laser cutting machines, and use 304 HTA stainless steel with tolerances as tight as \u00b10.003mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We specialize in precision laser-cut stencil technology, supporting both solder paste and adhesive (red glue) applications for high-quality PCB assembly. GOJGO offers a wide range of circuit board stencil customization options, such as framed and frameless stencils, step stencils, nano-coating, electropolishing and ultrasonic-resistant adhesive. These enhancements improve solder paste release, increase first-pass SMT yield and optimize printing performance for mixed-technology and high-density PCBs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
