🔨 How to Use

Step 1 – Select Your Component

Choose the resistor, diode or other compatible electronic component.

Step 2 – Choose Your Measurement

Select the required bending position between 6mm and 17mm.

Step 3 – Position the Component

Place the component into the appropriate position on the jig.

Step 4 – Bend the Leads

Carefully bend the component leads around the jig using gentle, even pressure.

Step 5 – Ready for Soldering!

Remove the component and check the lead spacing before installation.

⚠ Important: Avoid applying excessive pressure near the component body, as this could damage the component.

💡 Why Download This Model?

Preparing electronic components by hand can be time-consuming, especially when working with multiple resistors or diodes.

This 6mm–17mm Electronics Component Bending Jig helps simplify the process by providing a convenient way to achieve consistent bends.

It's an excellent addition to any electronics toolkit, whether you're building custom circuits, assembling PCBs or experimenting with electronics.
