Flex circuit assembly

Flex circuit assembly | 9 July, 2003

Like many others out there I am new to SMT assembly on flex circuits. In the past, we purchased flex assemblies manufactured from a sub-con. Now we will be building internally. Are there any guidelines when building products with flex circuits? Wash Guidelines? Singlulation Guidelines? Handling Guidelines?

I have seen a number of responses in the SMTnet forums on having well designed pallets for flex assembly. Do you have a good source for pallets?

Thanks in advance, Mike

Mike, I'd be more then happy to talk with you offline about pallets for flex assemblies. We have lots of experience with the manufacturing issues associated with them.

Thanks, Chad Haima Pentagon EMS 503-924-2747 chadh@pentagon-ems.com

Mike:

We have provided many carriers for flex circuit applications to facilitate processing through screen print, pick-and-place and reflow and, in many cases, eliminating the need for taping the flex circuit to the carrier. Please contact me and we can provide you with more details once we are more familiar with your specific requirements.
