My printer handles 1500mm stencil, so no, 4 ft boards print ok. If you are bending the board for the oven, does that mean your printer and PnP handle the full length?

Can you share a photo of this board on a carrier? I'm havinga hard time picturing this?

This looks like it could be related to oxidation.Do you per-bake your pcb before assembly to remove any moisture inside your board panel?

I agree with the two other replies. Left alone, it is a defect. If it's just excess adhesive or coating, you can use IPC-7711/7721 'Rework, Modification and Repair of Electronic Assemblies' for guidance on removing. Section 2.3.1 explains how to te

We've had much trouble with flex circuits. As previously mentioned, you must have local fids for the board or the BGA itself (if panelized). Other troubles we experience are drilled holes for pinned connectors. Unless the PCB manufactur has some w

Yep, Book a holiday and let someone else sort it out. Otherwise e-mail me and I'll talk you through pallets, rigidisers, printer tooling, spray mount, Kapton tape, local fiducials (panels can strech & shrink) etc. Oh, yeah - for the connectors you

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

Dear Chris Thank you so much for the prompt reply and it really helps. Do you have any SMT experience for rig-flex boards? Can you share with me about the differences with that of rigid boards? Is there any special precaution needed? When you were d

Hi Christina, What would you be basing the yields off of? Is it solder defect, component placement, etc....? I have worked for a flex house for quite a few years. You are right. The Polyimide is very dimentionally unstable. (even more so on humid da

We had a "Spring loaded" fixture that pulled the Flex tight and used loads of Board supports. There were pins that went through the Connectors holes and held the flex firm. We only had a few components so it was no problem. Lucky for us because the f
