Does anybody know of a manufacturer of board stiffeners to put on the edges of PCBs when there going through the oven? I have seen some that C-clamp on the edges which I would prefer but don't have any info on them.. Thanx, Todd

When we have warpage issues we use Titanium Panel Stiffeners even though the stiffeners are mainly used for Wave we find little issue for reflow. Mind you the boards have to be large enough.

Hi, 1. I will run the board on the mesh if single sided. 2. For double sided board, I will try stiffeners. 3. If stiffeners don't work, then you have to create a handling fixture(holds the board and has enough openings to let the air flow to the PC

I have a question on NEMA Grade FR-4 mechanical stiffeners, Understand that they do not required to be void free and are common, but is there any concern I should have of potential in the field use problems from them?

We just use stare titanium stiffeners from the wave soldering area. Titanium is probably over-kill for your needs, but will work. Sources for titanium stiffeners are: * APT 603.622.1211 Tom Dimagio * New Era Technology 603.669.77971 Jessie Ward * B

Hi, We are placing a Surface Mount connector on a flex circuit, we are planing on using SMT carriers to support the flex through the SMT process. Underneath the connector a stiffener needs to be adhere, I'm not sure if we should have the flex manu

Is the stiffener a piece of FR4, or a component that needs to be installed? We've done a number of flex assemblies taht have a rigid stiffener, generally a piece of rigid flex, or FR4 that has the components mounted on it. This type of stiffener
