Good Morning,
I have a question that was presented by one of our engineers in regards
to requiring UL94V-0 rating on flex circuits that I hope somebody with
experience doing flex circuits may be able to better answer as I have
only done Rigid boards.
Their question stems from a vendor response to Rigid-flex board design
which was done by an out of house designer, who added a requirement for
UL94V-0. The vendor responded that they don't get UL94V-0 ratings on
Flex circuits because the cost of obtaining the certification was too
substantial.
I typically always call it out on Rigid boards, but as I said, I haven't
done Rigid-flex and my only recourse thus far has been to comb through
other peoples flex board designs, and none have stated the UL
requirement. But that isn't to say it may not be buried in one of the
spec's called out.
Does anyone out there typically call out UL94V-0 ratings on their flex
circuits? Along with this, are there any facilities or courses in
design for flex circuits?
Thanks in Advance!!
-Jeffrey
