The base is provided with fixing parts at the four corners, and the four fixing parts define an accommodating space; the base is provided with a positioning column, and the magnetic fixing plate is provided with a positioning hole that cooperates with the positioning column.
[0004] The magnetic fixture used in the above patent has the following shortcomings:

[0006] 2. Since FPC is a flexible circuit board, the fixing plate can only partially fix the FPC board, and the fixing effect is not good; and there are generally Mark points in the printed avoidance area at the upper end of the FPC board, which the SMT machine can recognize. The fixing plate is easy to block part of the Mark points when fixing the FPC board. Utility Model Content
[0007] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an FPC magnetic tooling for SMT production, which is used to solve the problems of large overall thickness and poor local fixing effect of the magnetic tooling fixture used in the prior art.

The magnetic steel sheet of the magnetic carrier is embedded in the groove through the protrusion to limit the horizontal movement of the magnetic steel sheet relative to the magnetic carrier.
[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the magnetic steel sheet is configured as a rectangular frame structure, which is used to circumferentially press the edge of the FPC board to avoid the mark point of the FPC board.
[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the base is configured as an H-shaped structure with wider upper and lower regions and a narrower middle region, and the length of the middle region of the base is smaller than the length of the magnetic carrier.
[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, at least two positioning posts are provided, and the two positioning posts cooperate to position the placement position of the magnetic carrier and the stacking position of the FPC board relative to the magnetic carrier at least from opposite sides.
[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of high temperature resistant magnets are disposed on the magnetic carrier, and the plurality of high temperature resistant magnets are evenly distributed along the circumference of the edge of the magnetic steel sheet.

[0018] 2. By setting the magnetic steel sheet as a rectangular frame structure, the rectangular frame structure magnetic steel sheet can form circumferential positioning for the FPC, thereby improving the fixing effect of the FPC board; at the same time, the rectangular frame structure magnetic steel sheet can avoid blocking the Mark point, thereby improving the optical positioning and recognition effect of the SMT machine for the FPC board, thereby improving the printing effect of the FPC board.
