There are fewer and fewer hardware topics left to cover on this channel, I really appreciate your effort Robert, thank you!

There may be "fewer and fewer hardware topics" to cover. There are years worth of content to mine covering it all in depth.

Thanks so much for doing videos like these, although the target audience is small the audience is the "high end designer" and it saves me / us SO MUCH time researching.

Just found this video right when I need to do rigid flex PCB for my work, 15 minutes in and I already grateful because I learn a lot, thanks!

Ata is awesome. Tonnes of brilliant insight into designing flex PCBs. They feel a lot more accessible now to me as someone who's only worked with rigid PCBs.

Great video, thanks Robert! I often saw black flexible cables and thought it was a special mask, but it turns out to be EMI shielding. Very informative, keep posting videos!

It could be EMI shielding or it could also be black coverlay. A lot of black FPC are actually black coverlay.

Whow, this is a brilliant video session.. i just had to watch it whole and write notes.. big thanks to you Robert and Ata. You covered many details that I need for designing flex PCB. For sure I will have to put link of acknowledgement if I manage to make a successful product. I kind of hope there are totally clear materials for Coverlay that do a decent protection of copper if PET is used as a core Flex substrate (total clearness is a design requirements). I think 3M transparent material was mentioned by Ata for stiffener at some point in the videao. Thanks for all.

EXTREMLY interesting !

Thanks, very interesting.

Really appreciate it!

Very interesting information, thanks!!

Please guide about layout guidelines of rigid pcbs for space applications. Is it allowed to define power and gnd split on same plane if seperate planes cannot be defined. How to use signal integrity rules in altium designer for beginners.

hello sir i have a question can we put coverlay above pads ?

We used a flex pcb which had 20 twisted pair conductors and fully screened. so there were plated through holes in the flex as he tracks swapped sides to form the twisted pairs. the screen had to go into a x-hatch pattern where the flex had to bend. after all that design effort would you believe it we got one connector 180 deg out. So had to do it all over again.

Oh

couldn't you pick and place your stiffeners ? that tightly coupled bus bar looks like a great idea

Yes you can but the issue is that in order to bond stiffeners with flex, you need to put put the boards in press machine to ensure bonding is good. When you put them in press machine, you have to create type of a fixture (basically a FR-4 panel with cavities for stiffener), and put as many boards in a fixture as possible to maximize efficiency. Bottom line is that it is a very labour sensitive process. I am not saying that its complicated process (in most cases its not that difficult) but its if very labour sensitive. If you don't use press to bond stiffeners to flex, you may have delamination between stiffener and flex or stiffeners may even come off.

Thank you for your effort, YT has not been recommended your channel, but I remember your videos quite often
