PCB Holders

dougw

I've been doing some reorganizing and noticed I have a collection of PCB holders. I decided to do a quick post on them to spark some discussion around what constitutes a good PCB holder.

This video is a brief overview of the holders I have and how I use them.

What do you use to hold PCBs and what do you think is a good holder system?

  • I have the blue-pillared one and I find it useful for through-hole.  I use blu-tack rather than a foam pad to hold parts in place though.  It can sometimes be a bit loose and it can be awkward if parts are near an edge as either the holder is in the way or you're in danger of levering the board with the soldering iron and moving it.  Having said that I think it works pretty well.  For surface mount, I just have the board on a silicon mat.
