Does your electronic device have strict mechanical housing requirements to follow? Or maybe you¡¯re pushing the boundaries of technology with flexible or wearable electronics. Innovative product design is a moving target, and you¡¯re constantly having to come up with new ways to make the electronics side of things work just right. Rigid-flex technology offers a versatile solution for this increasingly common design hurdle.
FIGURING OUT THE DETAILS OF YOUR PCB¡¯S STACKUP
Making sure your board has the right number of layers, with the correct thickness and material type, and in the proper orientation can sometimes be an entire job in itself. Not to mention the complexity of creating multiple layer stacks, each with their own set of constraints. Stackups for flexible board regions have their own set of unique requirements for things like coverlay, stiffeners, surface coating and core materials. Managing all of this in an organized way can be a difficult task.
