EAGLE for Flex Circuit Design

autodeskguest

Hello--

 

Has anyone used Eagle CAD for flex circuit design?  Is this possible or

even recommended?  If so, then what are some basic design aspects that I

should watch out for?

  • Thanks, Oppie! I need to design a flex circuit so that I can mount the

    SCP1000 barometer outside of the circuit board enclosure box.  Here's a

    link to the datasheet:

     

    http://www.vti.fi/en/products/pressure-sensors/pressure_sensors/

     

     

    Apparently, there are no "ready-made" solutions for this, and the

    company recommends in an app note to use a flex circuit.

     

    Does anyone know the general cost of producing a flex circuit?  Is it

    more expensive than an "ordinary" PCB?  I think that all I would require

    is a two-layered flex circuit.

    As with any new project, first find a fab house that can do what you

    need. Then look to see what their input requirements are in terms of

    line width, spacing, layers... pretty much all the usual except a

    different substrate. I have it in mind to make my own specialty membrane

    keyboards with flex tails one of these days.
