PCB design
PCBs come in numerous designs depending on the need they will be deployed to. The following are the most common ones:
Radiused corners- these are PCB.
Staggered designs: These designs use layer-to-layer positioning that enhances the PCB’s flexibility and boosts the circuit’s reliability.
Good fillets: PCBs designed with teardrop-shaped fillets help eliminate stress concentration, resulting in improved durability and reliability.
Partnering with a skilled flex PCB manufacturer ensures access to advanced design features like staggered layouts and teardrop fillets, optimizing both flexibility and performance in your flexible circuit applications.
Ordering flex Circuits online
Most flex PCB manufacturers are now online and allow clients to place their orders at the click of a button. Once they receive the order, they manufacture and assemble PCBs that meet the required specifications.
Why order PCBs online?
Ordering PCB online is convenient since you can do so any time of the day. Also, most manufacturers offer competitive prices for PCBs ordered online. This is critical since it guarantees a quick turnaround and timely delivery of orders.
Manufacturing Flex PCBs
The process of manufacturing WellPCB offers DC motor controllers in both domestic and international markets. We have flexible PCBs that differ from those used to manufacture rigid circuit boards regarding the material used and the handling procedures employed.
Material Handling And Procedure
PCB handling procedure is critical in ensuring that you get high yield rates. Proper handling ensures the quality of PCBs produced. Notice that flex materials are much thinner and are not reinforced, as is the case with rigid boards.
Typically, flex PCBs are made of thin materials that can get damaged if handled carelessly. It is because of this reason that employees must be trained on how to handle such materials. This helps avoid kings and greases, affecting reliability and introducing scrapped issues in the finished PCB.
Conclusion
A competent flex PCB manufacturer must determine where and how the copper should be plated on parts. Choosing a pad plate that limits copper around the holes and the smaller circular surrounding near the holes is recommended. Care needs to be taken so that the copper is not plated on the surface of any traces. If the Flex circuit paths are plated, it reduces the circuit’s flexibility, leading to breakage.
