Rob, thank you for input. I notice you mention a baking process for the flex circuits, this is our first time with flex assembly, do the flex circuits need to be baked prior SMT, Moisture? Thanks, David

Hi delnosa, Sorry about being 10 days late - don't get to the bottom of the page much. I'm working of layering flex circuits sandwiched between FR4 layers. The flex is primarily designed to take the place of interconnects like yours. I work in ap

There is also a good reference book on flexible circuits from Joe Fjelstad. http://flexiblecircuittechnology.com/flex4/ This book covers everything from creating the flex circuitry itself to the assembly of flex circuits. Also, roll-to-roll assemb

If your flex circuit is only populated on one side, you can have the PCB vendor palletize the flex for you. What you do is have the flex circuit laminated to 062" FR4 using a thermoset adhesive like Dupont WA. Standard flex circuit adhesive. Howev

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

You don't necessarily have to bake the flex circuits, but you do have to worry about moisture. Polyimide is very hydroscopic, and depending on the flex construction, any moisture in the product can lead to delamination. Adhesive based flex circuits

Is there a specification in relation to the proximity to features that a Flex circuit should or should not be bent? I am experiencing broken tracks on some flexible circuits which appear to be getting 'flexed' directly adjacent to a soldered joint in

Another thing to look out for... Flex circuits, if not fixtured properly tend to move around and, well, "flex" during screen printing. At another place I worked, we fixtured the flex circuit on a SMT pallet on the corner tooling pins to "stretch"

The SMT MFG Process for Flex circuits is relatively the same as traditional SMT process, the key is your PCB supplier. The good flex circuit shops will supply the circuits in a rigid carrier or if Rigid/Flex the supplier will create a support structu
