Amol,

When we panelize rigid Flex, depending on the shape, we use either a partial route and "cracker cut' or we add rails that are scored, which can then be snapped off after assembly.

Subject: [TN] Panelization of Rigid-Flex assemblies

Dear Technetters,

We will be building some rigid flex boards on SMT that are about 2x2".
They will need to be panelized to run. We had previously run such
assemblies in a multiple up SMT pallets, but I am curious to know if
there are methods/best practices for panelizing the flex part of the
circuit from a depanelizing perspective.  i.e can they be panelized and
then separated and if yes, how?



Thanks,

Amol
