Rigid-Flex Circuitry
The Greater Boston Chapter of the IPC Designer's Council will
hold its next meeting on Tuesday, Jan 12th at 6pm.
Teledyne Electronic Technologies of Hudson NH, a rigid-flex
PWB manufacturer, will be sending two presenters:
Mike Collier, Applications Engineer, will present "Design
and Manufacture of Rigid Flex Circuitry", including,
- Advantages of Rigid/Flex
- Design Rules and Considerations
- Available Materials w/Properties Comparisons
- Electrical and Mechanical requirements
Jim Mahoney, Quick Turn Manager, will present "Quick
Turn Prototyping of Rigid/Flex".
This should be a very interesting realm, the possibilities
presented by the Rigid/Flex world have always caught this
designer's eye. When one adds up reduced component count,
simplified assembly, and especially improved reliability
(from reduced connector junctions) the uses for this tech-
nology look compelling. Let's see what the experts have
to say!
Agenda:
6:00 pm, Arrivals and Pizza, $5 contribution
6:45 Jeff Seeger - Chapter Update
7:00 Mike Collier, Design and Mfg of Rigid/Flex
8:00 Jim Mahoney, Quick-turn Prototyping for Rigid/Flex
Directions:
Lockheed/Loral in Lexington MA. This facility is located off
route 128 at the route 2A/Concord/Hanscom exit. Proceed West
200 yds, turn Left onto Forbes Road. The meeting is in the
first building on the left (after the guard shack).
Mission:
Design is not called "do" for a reason. To design in today's
PWB environment implies adding value while giving electronics
a physically manifestable form. In order to add value one
must have a full grasp of the issues and stakeholders, often
helping to mediate compromises among those interest groups.
The Greater Boston Chapter of the IPC Designer's Council is
trying to bring those stakeholders, from every discipline,
to show you their problems and solutions so you can add to
your arsenal of knowledge.
Your help and participation would be most welcome.
Non members are welcome at the meetings for now, but expect
some pressure to join... Non-members should RSVP please,

Thanks, regards, and Happy Y2K-1!
