Who are the experts in the U.S. regarding polyimide bare board manufacturing ? We are struggling with warpage issues....

| I am looking for information on reflow temps for a flex board. There is only one 6 pin IC but the board has a 3M double sided tape. | Is it possible to reflow without damaging the tape. Any suggestions? Do you have a profiler for your reflow oven?

I have a customer that is requesting their flex circuit be conformally coated. Is this something that is done? Which coating would stand up to the stresses of flexing? Wouldn't that put stress on the components? Thanks! Shannon

Commonly done with Parylene.

At a previous job I had been taught that when reflow soldering polyimide flex circuits, it was necessary to pre-bake them before reflow soldering to prevent delamination. Our procedures said that there must be a 1hr bake prior to reflow, and the flex

have done it in the past, used silicon as it will flex,, however its not the most robust material! tends to peel/flake off.

How many times does it have to flex. There are acrylic conformal coatings that can be bent once to 90 degrees or so

IPC-FA-251 recommends 121*C for 30-60 minutes for 1 and 2 flex layer circuits. A rigid flex can take easily an hour per layer depending on the construction.

Omar: I dealt with this so called "hot bar" process also, and you're right; it's neither reliable nor repeatable. The goal was to attach a flex LCD display to another flex circuit. The flex LCD was constructed of resin and conductive silver particl
