Using Flexible Circuits as an Electronic Interconnection... Do's and Don'ts

Flexible Circuits are proven, reliable interconnect solutions for many of today's electronic packages. This article gives some general guidelines in terms of "dos" and "don'ts" that will help the engineer or designer make better decisions when using flex

Ultra-Thin Chips For High-Performance Flexible Electronics

Flexible electronics has significantly advanced over the last few years, as devices and circuits from nanoscale structures to printed thin films have started to appear. Simultaneously, the demand for high-performance electronics has also increased because flexible and compact integrated circuits are needed to obtain fully flexible electronic systems. It is challenging ...

Impact of FPC Fabrication Process on SMT Reliability

The functionality of electronic devices continues to increase at an extraordinary rate. Simultaneously consumers are expecting even more and in ever smaller packages. One enabler for shrinking electronics has been the flexible circuit board that allows the circuit board to fit a wide variety of shapes. Flexible printed circuits (FPC) have the capability to be very thin ...

Rigid-Flex PCB Right the First Time - Without Paper Dolls

The biggest problem with designing rigid-flex hybrid PCBs is making sure everything will fold in the right way, while maintaining good flex-circuit stability and lifespan. The next big problem to solve is the conveyance of the design to a fabricator who will clearly understand the design intent and therefore produce exactly what the designer/engineer intended.

Camelot 5000 Glue dispensing machine issue -- Hello, I was wondering if anyone has any experience on troubleshooting Camelot glue machines. Before the machine is powered up, we can pull gantry toward the front and power up machine. We put into trace mode, and everything goes into home position fine. The problem is when We load in a program and try to run, the gantry stays in the home position and errors out with a fiducial screen saying it can't find it. We try going into Syringe and it will not let you move any of the axes. We checked all the Fuses F1thru F9. There doesn't seem to be any obstructions. We replaced the System Board, checked xyz sensors, checked motor brushes and everything seems fine. Unfortunately, this machine isn't supported by tech service so any advice will be appreciated. Any suggestion would be helpful. Thanks, Ryan

SMT Printing -- Good Day, we have a number of new apprentices coming into the business and they have not seen any SMT before. Does anyone know of any literature or tips for them to learn the process of SMT printing? Such as ideal print pressures and speeds, and also what importance the seperation speed etc plays on the print
