What is an SMT Stencil?
SMT stencil, also called PCB stencil or solder paste stencil, is a precision stainless-steel stencil used in PCB assembly. It features laser-cut apertures aligned with PCB pads to ensure accurate and consistent solder paste deposition, minimizing defects such as bridging or misalignment and enabling reliable, high-quality PCB assembly.
Professional Laser-Cut Stencil Factory
We are a factory specializing in SMT laser-cutting stencils. We make customized stencils from your Gerber/CAD files — MOQ 1 piece, global shipping, and Southeast Asia friendly with 2–3 day express delivery. Production takes only 8–12 hours. Send us your files and our engineers check them for free.
Your Files, Checked by Our Engineers
Upload your Gerber (with solder paste layer) or DXF files and our engineers review them for free — aperture design, stencil thickness and frame choice included — before production begins.
Types of SMT Stencils
Surface mount stencils can be categorized by frame and by manufacturing process.
Non-Framework Stencil
A standalone stainless-steel sheet without a frame. More flexible and space-saving, ideal for small batches and manual assembly.
Framework Stencil
The stencil is fixed in an aluminum frame. Easy to handle and position accurately, suitable for automated pick-and-place machines.
Nano-Coating
Faster solder paste release, more uniform deposits and less cleaning — ideal for BGA, QFN and other fine-pitch components.
Electropolishing
Removes micro burrs and smooths aperture walls for better solder paste release — a perfect match with nano-coating.
Step Stencil
Varying thickness across the stencil allows precise solder paste deposition for mixed-technology and high-density boards.
