Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an SMT patch fixture, belonging to the field of fixtures. Background Art

[0002] SMT, or surface mount technology, is the most popular technique and process in the electronics assembly industry. SMT refers to a series of processes performed on a PCB (printed circuit board). Jigs are commonly used in the SMT process. To adapt jigs to the clamping needs of SMT patches of varying sizes, the position of the stopper structure used to limit the end position of the SMT patch is adjustable. This stopper structure is often connected to the jig base using a combination of set screws and an adjustment rod. To enable the stopper structure to move a considerable distance, the adjustment rod needs to be long. When clamping and limiting larger SMT patches, the longer portion of the adjustment rod is located outside the jig base. This outside position of the adjustment rod takes up considerable space, hindering the utilization of workstation space. Therefore, it is necessary to design an SMT jig with adjustable workstation space. Utility Model Content

When the tightening of the clamping screw is affected by the adhesion of small debris, the splint and the L-shaped plate can be separated after separating the nut and the bolt, which makes it convenient to remove the clamping screw from the space formed by the first thread groove and the second thread groove for cleaning.
