PCB assembly jigs-Any recommendations?
« on: June 13, 2010, 04:14:19 pm »
Hi,
Does any one have any suggestions for a reasonably priced (around £50-will pay more for quality) PCB assembly jig. I mainly work on eurocard (100mm x 160mm) sized pcb's but if I can buy something that takes bigger even better. It's mainly for prototype use.
Thanks.

David.

Can't go wrong with a Panavise



But for small PCB and general use I find the elcheapo 'helping hands' more than adequate:



In the USA, China clones are only $5.

I love my Panavise - unfortunately they are very overpriced in the UK. Keep an eye out on Ebay.
