Ave Netters,
anyone who uses VECTRAN, a different dielectric material for making flexes, better RF properties than Polyimide, takes up no humidity, and has much more reliable vias. Yamaichi Germany have adopted this Hoechst (old name) that was developed years ago. They call their product Y-FLEX.  I just have one simple question: is it better than old PI concerning what is said above? You can check Y-FLEX as follows: <http://www.yamaichi.de/fpc/yflex/y_frame.htm>

PS. The australian venomous spider is named 'Atrax formidabilis'. But, listen, that creature is nothing compared with Chiropsalmus Chironex living in the water in Queensland. A sting of these and you have 1-3 minutes to say goodbye!  No remedy, absolutely no help possible. 60 persons died in Australia in some years. Poor Aussilek, what a surrounding!
