Is there anyone who knows the yield rate difference for SMT on multi-flex boards and rig-flex boards ? Basically, I think the yield rate should be higher for rig-flex than multi-flex due to the poor dimensional stability of polyimide, since multi-fle

This flex is .001" Kapton polyimide. The flex portion of this rigid flex consists of 3 layers of 1 oz copper with 5 layers of Kapton. Part of the flex is sandwiched in standard FR4 with two layer of copper on each side for a finished thickness of .

In itself none, but heating moisture laden flex can cause the flex to delaminate.

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 We are trying to Solder LCD Flex to PCB. Few suggested Z-Axis Film (Conductive tape) which can be stuck between Flex-PCB and bonding by applying hot soldering iron across the flex. Is this effective method. If there is any other option, please su

This video does not show FlexJet head, It is Flex head with 4 spindle. We have about 5 GSM with flex and FlexJet head with OS/2 and 4 with Windows2K. If you need any help, I will be glad to help you. Tushar

John, No vacuum. I use tape to hold the flex flat. Panels are hard. Some flexes I do 3 up some 1 up. Larger components that I can get a repeatable location of the flex are 3 up. 0805 and smaller are 1 up always. I talked to a flex house once a

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

In my experience with flex the flex provider is the best place to go for these pallets. The competent flex and rigid flex providers will also provide the carriers if requested. Once you see what they are providing you, you could most probably make th

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
