Hi We use a U-channel piece of high temperature silicon which is just pushed over the gold tabs before the soldering process. The silicon can be used over and over again. The advantages are that there is no mask on the board during the SMT process a

Steve Often solder mask is the only solution but in many cases there is enought space between smt and thru-hole to utilize a component masking wave solder pallet. The advantage to a pallet is consistancy of results and excellent protection of masked
