Happy’s Tech Talk #29: Bend-to-Install Semi-flex FR-4

06/05/2024 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech Talk
A special case of rigid board applications is when you would like to bend the board but don’t need it to flex. We have called this case “bend-to-install” or sometimes “semi-flex.” Many electronics applications are in this class of assembly, as illustrated: Rigid board needing height adjustments, automotive lighting, industrial cameras, engine control units, and and-held portable units.
