Abstract: An overlay device for verifying the correct placement of assembled components on a printed circuit board. The overlay device has cutouts to assist users to more precisely verify the correct placement of components with or without leads. Some overlay embodiments have writing, printing, engraving, and etching to assist a user in identifying which product the overlay is to be used with, what point in the assembly the overlay is to be used, and the correct orientation and spacing for the components.
