I don't have help for you in finding sources for design guides, but after designing/procuring highly stressed (in terms of bend radius) flex designs over the past 10 years, I can tell you that it would be a very rare fabricator who knows how to tell the grain direction of the RA foil: Out of 18 orders of flex, 9 have come in with the grain in the wrong direction! After I educated those fabricators, they MAY now be able to identify it, but I never trust them. If you need to push things at or beyond standard limits, count on learning to read the grain and on the extra time required to have a fabricator remake boards. One fabricator I used last year made the initial delivery in May. By the time they agreed the grain was wrong and they re-made the boards, it was October! They had purchased the material from DuPont. DuPont also did not know how to read grain. DuPont then went to their foil supplier. I have my doubts on whether any of the "education" stuck!

T-netter's;
Can anyone provide direction regarding design and assembly guidelines for flexible PCB's / PCA's?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
