Most designers cut their teeth designing rigid printed circuit boards due to their simplicity (this is relative). Because the design is static from a mechanical standpoint, the designer needs only indicate the component locations for assembly. A flex circuit offers numerous mechanical advantages over a rigid PCB but also requires additional considerations for materials, dynamic…
Designers can choose between different copper thickness values, but most boards utilize a standard value of 1 oz. for most applications.
