I did some more digging into this particular implementation. We already use flexible capton circuits too, this is a capton embedded in a FR4 type layered board then it is routered over were it is to be bent and then permanently bent(broken). They chose this method over mounting two boards together via a capton flex circuit. I am not sure if that has any effect on the reliability or manufacturability. I suspect our main area of concern will need to be the bend radius where the board is cracked and bent up to 90 degrees. Thanks again Brodie Pedersen Nonin Medical Inc.
I have a design team looking at using a bendable circuit board in order for a certain fit in a plastic housing. Do any of you have information on reliablity, pitfalls, experiences with this type of circuit board implementation. Your help and suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
