The Zephyrtronic ABC-2Q will hold within its tracks PCB's up to 20" x 20" (52cm x 52cm). Keep in mind that even larger boards can easily sit right on top of the table top frame, so you are not limited to just 20" x 20" PCB's. The ABC-2Q has 4 tracks, with 2 movable center tracks.
The ABC Series of PCB Holders! Over twenty years on the market, the ABC Adjustable Board Cradles were the very first stand-alone, open frame board fixtures on earth and they still are the most popular Printed Circuit Board holders or fixtures for good reason: They were to designed with multi-purpose functionality for PCB assembly, soldering, desoldering, rework/repair and prototyping.
The ABC Cradle is your industrial quality multi-tasker at the bench. Its unique design securely holds multiple PCB's within the adjustable tracks. Boards are inserted and removed from either the top or by slide entry into the dove-tailed tracks. Whether prototyping, small production runs, reworking PCB's, or positioning your PCB above your pre-heater, the ABC is your bench helper.
ABC Adjustable Board Cradles are the original "transformers" at the bench for PC board level work. And the 'adjustability' is just limited to the x and y axis tracks, but includes more. ABC's Are Totally Independent from either a pre-heater or any upper reflow heating zone. Zephyrtronics pioneered and introduced the "independent" concept 25 years ago. ABC's Are Swappable and inter-changeable -- because they are "independent" from any PCB rework station (a significant advantage), speeding up production, prototyping runs, rework and repair. All ABC's feature the signature dove-tailed linear grooves for inserting PCB's into the tracks and locking knobs to firmly secure them in position. The open frame Table-Top Design permits very large military and satellite boards to sit directly atop the frame during assembly, preheat, soldering or desoldering tasks. This is far superior to cantilevered-type fixtures that stress substrates, vias, laminations causing fissures or weakened solder joints. ABC's support your entire PCB. With just four extra posts, the ABC's become "flippable" for thru-hole soldering and desoldering jobs and is ideal for inspection work. Our, who solder and desolder thru-hole devices and connectors rave about this attribute. ABC models are Inclinable in the 2-Post Position for PCB thru-hole component stuffing, cutting leads, board prep or assembly with "slide along" capacity.
