Abstract

An adjustable frame fixture aims to hold a printed-circuit board (PCB) to pass over a tin oven to process wave soldering. The fixture includes at least two side frames and at least two fasteners. The two side frames are coupled to form a holding dock. The positions of the two neighboring side frames are adjustable to form an area of different sizes to hold the PCB of different sizes. After the positions of the side frames have been adjusted, the fasteners are used to anchor and couple the side frames.
