Flexible circuits

autodeskguest

I've been using eagle for a number of years now and am reasonably proficient

with it.  Recently I've come accross an application where a flexible printed

circuit (FPC)  would be ideal.  I've never designed these before.  What

special considerations need to be made for FPC circuits in eagle?  I've come

accross a design guide for FPC which has some good advice, but I have a few

specific questions.  For instance how do I show where cable stiffeners must

be placed?

    I never did a Flexiable circuit but, You can add a layer for the

    stiffeners and in addition to the gerbers, provide a layout drawing

    showing the placement of the stiffeners. I normally make a drill drawing

    for quoting, so the stiffeners would become part of it.

     

    Or you can just ask the vendor for what information he needs.

     

    Cheers
