StikNPeel single-use flexible rework stencil is adhesive-backed. Tacky adhesive makes sure the stencil stays coplanar to the board during paste printing; solder does not smear underneath the stencil. Can be placed in crowded areas of the PCB without relying on tape down or fixturing methods. Made from Mylar and available in 0.004", 0.005" and 0.006" thicknesses. QFPs and other devices and areas down to 0.5 mm pitch can be fabricated. Each stencil is cut to order from customer datasheets, Gerbers or dxf/dwg files. Max. stencil size is 4" x 4". Twenty pieces per package.
