EAGLE for Flex Circuit Design

autodeskguest over 15 years ago

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?

I am just starting a flex design as well. In reviewing the input
requirements I see that some vendors recommend special pad shapes around
through holes to minimize stress concentrations at the points where the
trace meets a pad. Another difference from a hard board is the
recommendation to add hold-down tabs around thru-hole pads in some
applications.

You might want to take at look at a design guide ... I found it helpfull!
