Howdy All,

I am new to this list and I thank the folks at 3M's
Microflex division for pointing me here.  Y'all can blame
them later after reading this lengthily post...

The acceptance of my lousy prototype was excellent, so I was
looking at ideas for a more robust and fine-tuned design
using a flexible circuit.

I need a flexible PC board operating at 12v DC.  Size is
about 1/2" x 6" or 8".  The mounting is static, but the
flexible shape is required because of the variety of
mountings.  Also, the outdoor environment will be greasy,
dusty, wet, cold (-50F), sunny (UV) and hot (120F).  So, it
needs to be durable.  There will be no direct abrasives.
The board and protection should be no more than about
2/10ths thick.

Is there something like that out there?  You've probably
seen that "soft-touch" switch rubber used on keypads.  A
slightly firmer version of that with copper cladding (or
something to etch) would be about perfect, as long as it's
tough stuff.

Thanks in advance and I appreciate your guidance.

- Scott
