LASER - Epilog Helix 45W
In the pursuit of expanding the number of products and capabilities we offer; we have recently invested a significant amount of money and time in acquiring a high quality American made laser cutting system. Our Epilog Helix 45W allows us to process high quality, low-cost, quickturn kapton stencils for our customers.
 
STENCILS - 8.5"x11"x.0035"

We are providing kapton stencils up to 8.5"x11"x.0035" in size that are to be used in the production of prototype and short run printed circuit board designs with surface mount components. Due to the high material cost of Kapton ($300/lb), all stencils will be trimmed to fit a 1" border surrounding all SMT pads or the pcb outline of your board if it is provided. If you have a unique frame configuration please specify this to us when you send your files and we will size the stencil appropriately.

Orders with multiple designs require that each design have the appropriate outline. Do not worry about optimizing this layout as we will depanelize each design with a 1/2"" border. Multiple design order can have up to 6 designs. If duplicates are in the order we will only process the original design (Kapton is very durable and duplicates are rarely needed).

Please contact us at stencils@ohararp.com if you have any questions or your files fit outside of these normal requirements and we can still process your order, but at a slightly higher fee than our standard pricing.

 
PRICING - $25 per sheet + Shipping
We understand that research and development of prototype designs can be expensive and have streamlined our order process to provide you with the lowest cost and highest quality kapton stencils available.
 
CAPABILITIES - BGA, DFN, TQFP, ETC
Our laser uses a 1.5" Focus Lens to produce the smallest spot size possible. To this end we can cut surface mount pads for nearly any sized SMT package. We will review your design and let you know if there are any problems before cutting.
 
FILE REQUIREMENTS - GERBER (RS274X) format
To keep our costs low we require that you submit your SMT resist layer be in GERBER (RS274X) format to allow us to import your files into Corel Draw. Other file formats can be allowed but may require additional charges to process. Please include the board outline in your file submission. UNITS = INCHES.
 
FILE SUBMISSION - EMAIL
All file submission is completed via e-mail to stencils@ohararp.com

There are no limitations on the number of pads or designs in a file. Orders with multiple designs in a single file require that the board outline be included for each design. We will depanelize the designs at the time of manufacture.

 
TURN TIMES/SHIPPING - 1-2 Business Days
Submit your order on any business day before 1600 hrs and your stencil will ship within 1-2 days. We aim for next day shipment, but depending on volume this could take an additional day.
 
PAYMENT - Secure Checkout
