If you kink the leads will you be able to insert it without flexing the board/moving any of the other components? Also these pin headers aren't always designed for this process so have you checked that it will take the elevated temperatures?

pin and paste works. don't use gel flex at screen printer. Good luck PR

Rob: You say, "We usually determine our run process based on the heaviest components, and propensity for falling off during the second reflow process. If there's only the one BGA on that side of the board, we'd tend to run that side first." We agree

Hi all, We had similar problems a while back. Boards would fail at test but if you applied pressure to the BGA they would pass. Turned out that during the PTH assembly process the Operators were flexing the cards during the insertion of an Oupin C

Hi, What would you consider significantly different about lead-free on flex circuits than tin-lead of flex circuits ? Have you published your experiances that you encountered while changing over to lead-free solder paste from a tin-lead paste ? T

John, We tape (usually high temp tape) flex to a fixture (usually 0.090" piece of bare FR4). We make an outline on the fixture to get a rough location then use fiducials on the flex for alignment. Print, place, reflow, cool, remove flex. When the

Are there any guidelines when building products with flex circuits? Any heat profile guidelines? Wash Guidelines? Handling Guidelines. Is it best to run on the same line?

just out of curiousity, why the special nitrogen cabinet concerns for gold plated flex PCB? common "myth/fact" is gold is an "inert" coating layer that is not going to react with room environment conditions *that much?*. Am learning here, so would ap
