Address,

     I ordered several books on Flex Technology, but until then I have
     several questions.

     1. Are there any Equipment modifications required when assembling
        Rigid-Flex PCBAs?

     2. Are there Assembly houses assembling Rigid-Flex, Rigid and Flex in
        the same assembly lines concurrently?

     3. Is there additional cost added to assembly Rigid-Flex PCBAs over
        Rigid?  If so, where does the added cost come from?

     4. If there are differences in assembling Rigid-Flex and Flex then
        from Rigid, can someone (directly) provide sources for quoting 9U
        cards (8.5 x 14.5) high mass, high populated Rigid-Flex assemblies?

     5. I have all ready identified several suppliers for the Rigid-Flex
        Fabs.

        Can anyone provide any beginner input to procuring new Rigid-Flex
        suppliers?

        What process' should I pay more attention to with respect to
        Flex Fabrication?


     Thank you.
