Does the thermal conductivity of a copper trace on a printed circuit board change as the copper oxidizes? Is the oxide on copper a thermal insulator? If so, should it be considered in an analysis of thermal resitivity between a ground plane and a h

Hi Folks, I am looking for some info. and possibly a source on measuring inprocess copper plating thickness for Flex PCB manufacturing facilities. I have tried XRF, E-Current method but the supplier told us that it wont work with Flex material - th

Jorge, Your description of the process sounds about right. A fixture to hold the flex cable taut (and in a repeatable location) that allows you to paste/place/reflow is essential. As for notes: Be hyper aware of moisture/humidity in regards to

Mike: We have provided many carriers for flex circuit applications to facilitate processing through screen print, pick-and-place and reflow and, in many cases, eliminating the need for taping the flex circuit to the carrier. Please contact me and w

Has anyone ever used local fids on flex circuits that are applied by the board house as black ink dots? Good or bad experience? We have a flex board that has two identical 60 pin, fine pitch connectors on it. From limited experience and reading so

We had an issue with the finish, PCB manufacturer is telling that they had a problem with the Nickel rework, which resulted in 20% fall out. Please help me by providing the ENIG thickness for Flex boards, is it same as rigid boards as per IPC 4552. I

So is it fair to say that on a moisture laden double sided flex circuit you could see an increase in tombstoning on the 2nd pass due to warpage created by delamination? In other words a 0603 for instance could tombstone due to the delaminated surfac

Adam, What is the pad finish on the flex circuit? Is this the only component that you are having problems with? (on this Flex)If this is the only problem area on the flex (assuming there is more than one component)then that would lead me towards the

I'm with Russ on this one. Had a similar problem with a flex circuit that used gold contacts into a ZIF connector on a ridged PCB. After may test I finally convinced the customer to do some test on the ZIF connector. The end result was flux contam
