More Details:
The ABC
Series of PCB Holders! This just may be the most popular
printed circuit board fixture on earth! The
Adjustable Board Cradle
or the ABC
Series of board holders from Zephyrtronics was
engineered as an easy to use, multi-purpose circuit board
assembly fixture.
The ABC
Cradle
is your multi-tasker at the
bench. Its unique design
securely holds multiple
PCB's within the adjustable
tracks. Boards can be
inserted and removed from
either the top side or by
slide entry into the
dove-tailed tracks from the
sides. Notable is the industrial, rugged design of the ABC's! Whether
prototyping, small
production runs, reworking
PCB's or just positioning
your PCB over a preheater, the ABC is
right there. |

Six Options to
Choose From! The ABC Series is available in three different sizes: The ABC-1 with the tracks capable of holding PCB's up to 10"x18" within the adjustable tracks; The ABC-2 capable of holding PCB's up to 20x18; and the ABC-T is capable of holding PCB’s up to 8.5” x 13”.
Further, all three of these styles of cradles come in
are available in either 3-Rail or 4-Rail designs (see tables below).
And all six styles can be made into either the
two-post inclined position or the ever-popular
four-post table-top position!
It is important to note that the table top design permits much larger military and satellite boards to sit directly on top of the frame for either assembly, preheating, soldering, or desoldering tasks. In fact, the table top frame is
proven far superior to the cantilevered-type fixtures which can stress the substrate causing fissures and weakening solder joints.

Every ABC Cradle Ships With 4 Standard
Posts
Including the 4 Brass Knurled Nuts
and 4 Non-Skid Feet (All Pre-Assembled!) |
|
|
|
|
The Entire Top is Smooth & Flat! Perhaps
most noteworthy,
the ABC Series
has a FLAT
TABLE TOP FRAME unlike other four-legged
fixtures that have knobs and brackets protruding up
above their frames preventing a PCB from laying
flush or flat on the top. The
"FLAT TOP" design of the
ABC Series is often cited as the single
favorite attribute by our customers.
Flip It
Over: ESD Safe, the ABC Series can also be flipped over
after component stuffing for cutting, pre-heating, soldering
and post cooling. The adjustable tracks hold and can lock in
boards from the range of 1/32" to 1/8" in substrate
thickness. And, the
Adjustable Board Cradle is the perfect compliment
to the Zephyrtronics
AirBath ZT-1
for Bottom Side Convective Pre-Heating. |

Amazing
Versatility! Every ABC Adjustable Board Cradle
(every style) comes equipped with 4 fully detachable
posts which permit:
A. 2-Post inclined/tilted,
low profile positioning (for component
stuffing or insertion and "slide along" assembly)
Great for prototype work!
B. 4-Post table-top
positioning (great for cutting leads, board prep work,
pre-heating, soldering and de-soldering Thru-Hole & SMD
components, & quality inspection
C. 8-Post utility
permits flipping PCB over for quick inspection
or for de-soldering jobs.
D. Quick "break-down for
storage and travel.
The ABC's fit within
many brief cases! |

How to Choose the Right
ABC PCB Holder For You:
The ABC Adjustable Board
Cradles are available in three sizes. Each of the
three sizes is available with either three or four tracks:
Our Classic ABC's: Ideal for working with all sizes
of PCB’s and also with any Zephyrtronics AirBath Preheater.
ABC-1: The ABC-1 will
hold within its tracks PCB's up to 10" x 18". 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 10" x 18"
PCB's. The ABC-1 comes with three tracks, with the center
track moveable.
ABC-1Q: The ABC-1-Q will
hold within its tracks PCB's up to 10" x 18". 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 10" x 18"
PCB's. The ABC-1Q comes with four tracks, with two center
tracks that are moveable.
ABC-2: The ABC-2 will
hold within its tracks PCB's up to 20" x 18". 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 18"
PCB's. The ABC-2 comes with three tracks, with the center
track moveable.
ABC-2Q: The ABC-2Q will
hold within its tracks PCB's up to 20" x 18". 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 18"
PCB's. The ABC-2Q comes with four tracks, with two center
tracks that are moveable.
New! Our "Enfant" or Tiny ABC's: Ideal
for working with smaller PCB’s and where bench space is
limited. Please note, the ABC-Enfant Series ONLY works with
the Zephyrtronics ZT-1-CLS Preheating AirBaths as they are
too small to straddle our larger, more powerful
AirBath Preheaters.
ABC-TT: The ABC-TT will
hold within its tracks PCB's up to 8.5" x 13". 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 8.5" x 13"
PCB. The ABC-TT comes with three tracks, with the center
track moveable.
ABC-TQ: The ABC-TQ will
hold within its tracks PCB's up to 8.5" x 13". 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 8.5" x 13"
PCB. The ABC-TQ comes with four tracks, with two center
tracks that are moveable.
Please note, the ABC-Enfant
Series ONLY works with the Zephyrtronics ZT-1-CLS Preheating
AirBaths as they are too small to straddle our larger,
AirBaths which require any of the four larger ABC’s above
(Models ABC-1, ABC-1Q, ABC-2, ABC-2Q). |

OUR
NEW “ENFANT” SERIES OF
ABC BOARD FIXTURES
Here's
our new "enfant" series, the ABC-TS Cradles. Ideal
for working with smaller PCB’s and where bench space is very limited.
However, please note, the ABC-Enfant Series ONLY works with the
Zephyrtronics ZT-1-CLS AirBaths as they are too small to straddle
our larger, more powerful AirBaths which require any of the larger
ABC’s above. |
