THE TOP 5 TYPICAL ERRORS WITH FLEXIBLE CIRCUIT
TECHNOLOGIES
• Flexible Circuits tend to be the most affordable means for electronic and digital packaging interconnection.
• The following are at least 5 Typical Errors many people come up with when starting a task utilising flexible circuit.
• Not conducting due research with provider selection1
• There are numerous flexible PCB sellers to select from, each with unique capabilities and problems.
• If "any seller” can easily be your potential vendor, basing your choice strictly on price is really a recipe for dissatisfaction.
• Not involved with your company in the PCB layout operation
2
• There are many detailed aspects in manufacturing a flex circuit; the truth that it is usually flexible adds obstacles for layout that a rigid board doesn't cope with.
• Using PCB CAD software to layout a flex board3
• PCB software would not avoid very common manufacture and quality design issues that are exclusive to a flexible circuit board.
• Compressed Timeframes4
• Time stress will be able to force short cuts. What this lead to is a badly designed product that will have quite a few assembly and stability complications for the duration of the product.
• Believing that Flex circuit doesn't have restrictions5
• Elements like mechanized erosion, sharp bend radius and twisting could cause unplanned inability.
