Flex circuits offer the same advantages as conventional printed circuit boards: quality, reliability, and high density.
However, the most important attribute that has encouraged designers to opt for flex circuit technology is the capability of the flex circuit to assume three-dimensional configurations. Flex circuits can flex during installation, maintenance and use. A flex-circuit can save up to 70 percent of the space or weight of conventional wiring.
Assembly of components on flex involves a cleaning process, soldering process and handling process. Bending close to the edge of the component may cause solder joints to crack and subsequently cause open-circuit failures. This paper will provide recommendations on soldering and bending processes when components are mounted on a flex circuit.
