Anyone who has ever worked with small development
boards will know how hard it is to keep them in place on your desktop when
numerous cables are connected. To solve this problem, Adafruit has announced
the arrival of a new heavy stainless steel PCB holder which is now available to
purchase priced at US$ 16.95. The holders were initially marketed for people
carrying out smartphone repair and have been redesigned for development boards.
The heavy stainless steel PCB holder is capable of
fitting development boards up to 100 mm x 90 mm in size. “This flat and dense
vise is great because your hands can rest directly on the work table, allowing
you to steady yourself with minimal effort for precise soldering and probing.
The thick metal plate weighs 430 grams and keeps it from
moving around so you don’t have to worry about the PCB shifting while you’re
trying to heat up a stubborn component.
