Webinar Flex-rigid printed circuit boards - Design Guide Part I:
Technology variations -- specific properties and application examples: Flex or semiflex? Polyimide or FR4? Interior or exterior flexible layer? With or without coverlay?
You can find answers to these with examples in the new Design Guide for Starrflex printed circuit boards. Thus you can reliably and securely make your application a success. We have outlined the most important parameters and most valuable design tips for you and explain these during the webinar. Compared to rigid circuit boards there are much more materials and processes for flexible, semiflexible or flex-rigid printed ciruit boards. Thus resulting in a variety of combinations with huge impact on performance and cost. So it is mandatory to check and learn about these technology variants with their specific set of properties and options and to identificate the cost drivers in the project planning phase. At the same time there have tobe asked and answered questions besides the circuit board technology alongside the the value-added chain. For example regarding the mechanical construction, the basic system technology (electrical interfaces, homogeneous / partially homogeneous or heterogeneous System), ambient conditions, listings and permits and last but not least assembly and test strategy. Würth Elektronik´s Flex-Rigid Design Guide provides an overview about the different variants as well as selection criterias and real examples. The approach of interdisciplinary cooperation in developments of flex-rigid designs is shown.
