In less than 30 minutes, learn from flex expert Joe Fjelstad about considerations when designing flexible circuits.
Fjelstad suggests starting holistically, considering all elements of the product:
- Use “paper doll” mock-ups to expose issues early on
- Be prepared to make decisions when mechanical and electrical requirements conflict
- Learn about tolerancing, nesting, etch factors, and more
Other segments include topics such as flexible circuit designs, principles, and practices; design guidelines for bending, folding, and dynamic movement of flexible circuits; flexible circuit singulation methods; assembly aids, and more.
These 10 workshop segments, created and presented by renowned flex expert Joe Fjelstad, produced and edited by I-Connect007, and sponsored by American Standard Circuits, are a comprehensive look at flexible circuit board design, manufacturing, and assembly.
