Current IssueCreating the Ideal Data Package
Why is it so difficult to create the ideal data package? Many of these simple errors can be alleviated by paying attention to detail—and knowing what issues to look out for. So, this month, our experts weigh in on the best practices for creating the ideal design data package for your design.
Designing Through the Noise
Our experts discuss the constantly evolving world of RF design, including the many tradeoffs, material considerations, and design tips and techniques that designers and design engineers need to know to succeed in this high-frequency realm.
Learning to Speak ‘Fab’
Our expert contributors clear up many of the miscommunication problems between PCB designers and their fab and assembly stakeholders. As you will see, a little extra planning early in the design cycle can go a long way toward maintaining open lines of communication with the fab and assembly folks.

BEST Inc. Introduces StikNPeel Rework Stencil for Fast, Simple and Reliable Solder Paste Printing
June 2, 2025 | BEST Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute

BEST Inc., a leader in electronic component rework services, training, and products is pleased to introduce StikNPeel™ rework stencils. This innovative product is designed for printing solder paste for placement of gull wing devices such as quad flat packs (QFPs) or bottom terminated components.
StikNPeel™ simplifies the process of selectively printing solder paste onto a printed circuit board. The process is as simple as peeling off the stencil backing, aligning in the proper location, and placing the stencil on the circuit board pad site. The StikNPeel™ stencil is secured in place on the PCB via a repositionable adhesive backing. Once properly placed, solder paste is dispensed across the stencil to obtain sufficient solder paste deposition. Next, the StikNPeel™ stencil is peeled off the circuit board leaving uniform solder paste volume in the aperture areas without any remaining residues or visible signs of rework. Once the stencil is removed, you’re ready for component placement.
Using StikNPeel™ stencils streamlines component placement without the common issues and mess that come with using metal stencils. The flexible material and adhesive backing ensure the board and stencil remain coplanar, preventing solder paste smearing and improving first-pass yields. Once aligned and pressed into place, the stencil remains adhered to the board providing uniform solder paste distribution. Utilizing this process eliminates the need for time-consuming masking around the rework area. Additionally, the StikNPeel™ stencil can be equipped with peripheral flaps to allow tighter positioning when navigating neighboring devices. Compared to our stay-in-place stencils, StikNPeel™ is removed from the board prior to component placement and leaves no visible evidence of rework.
StikNPeel™ rework stencils are custom made to your exact device requirements without the need for expensive tooling. One pack consists of 10 stencils in a pink anti-static bag. No minimum order requirements apply. Typical lead time is 3-5 days for up to 4 packs after check plot approval. Approved files include Gerber, DXF, or component mechanical specs.
