When designing flex or rigid-flex PCBs, special consideration must be given due to the increased design complexity, varying materials, and manufacturing differences. The PCB Designer’s Guide to Flex and Rigid-Flex eBook discusses the complexities of incorporating flex materials into your PCB stackups, how flex materials effect the PCB layout, and what features you can utilize in your CAD software to aid in the development of flex and rigid-flex products.
The PCB Designer’s Guide to Flex and Rigid-Flex eBook will answer the following questions:
- When should I design a flex or rigid-flex board?
- What are the types of flex or rigid-flex PCBs and benefits of each?
- What are the typical stackup configurations & materials for flex and rigid-flex?
- What are the best practices for designing a flex or rigid-flex PCB?
- What additional documentation is required for successful manufacturing?
- How can you manage the additional complexities of flex and rigid-flex designs?
