CHALLENGES WORKING WITH DFM GUIDELINES FOR FLEX AND RIGID-FLEX PCBS

Inside the Challenges Working with DFM Guidelines for Flex and Rigid-Flex PCBs Ebook, we’ll be discussing Design for Manufacturing (DFM) guidelines and the various challenges a designer may face when trying to follow them. We will also be discussing just how to make sense of and navigate the various aspects of DFM guidelines, how to identify the aspects of the guideline and how they interact with one another, and when the guideline should be followed and when it should be broken.

Insiders Look:

• IPC-2223 Standard in Relation to Board Design
• Design Conflicts with a DFM
• Guidelines Interacting with One Another
• And more…

DFM guidelines make up a critical junction of the process of designing and building a flex or rigid-flex circuit board. In many instances, a DFM guideline is used to detail what can and cannot be done for a design, from simple things such as line widths and spacing to more complicated items such as via placements in and among the board.
