CBT Stackup Hand Sample WE.band STRETCH.flex

Stackup: STRETCH.flex 1S

Explanations: Single Layer stretchable PCB made of thermoplastic polyurethan

Design: Additional copper structures

Explanation: The additional copper structures are used to reinforce transition areas.

Design: L1= 800 µm, L2 = 790 µm, w = 190 µm, d = 410 µm

Design: d = 150 µm, w = 190 µm, r = 250 µm

Design: Localized stability increase in the transition area through copper structures from stretchable to rigid

Design: Lasered

Explanation: Contour is cut by laser

Explanation: Possibility of further, electrical connection. In hand sample there is only a mechanical connection.

Explanation: TPU is also used as a cover layer to protect the conductive traces. Solder pads with surface finish are exposed in this area in the TPU.

Explanation: Due to the limp and adaptable material TPU, almost any shape can be realized.
