Hi, how to ensure flexible boards do not warp after reflow and still remain flat for subsequent operations. What is the best way to hold and transport these strips from one process to another. Thanks!

Ron, The simplest way to process fexible PCB's that I have found is to use a process carrier fixture. There are companies that manufacture process carriers that are capable of holding flex through stencil, placement and reflow. The carriers are capab

Ron: Chris is correct that there is a bunch of fixture fabricators that make good products that will serve your purpose. Other fixture fabricators can be found in the archives. Problems with these fixtures are: 1 Out-rageously expensive 2 Very lo

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

Does anyone have a better way of holding large reels for the Mycronics machine? The arms are quite expensive so I currently use an ESD bin with a rod in the middle. It's kind of a pain when you need to change a reel. I saw a really cool bin, but the

The first issue I see is that you have a high potential of the 402 tombstoning.

You're correct. This design will have a record amount of 0402 rework for tombstoning and misalignments. Suggest that the pads on each end of all components be the same size in order to balance wetting forces during reflow.

I agree with the previous two replies. This is a perfect design....if you're trying to create a graveyard full of tombstones.
