Can I attach a connector meant for a rigid PCB to a flex PCB?

Is it possible to connect a standard mezzanine connector to a flex PCB? D.w.z. could I use a mezzanine connector meant for connecting two rigid PCBs in a situation where one is flex and one is rigid?

What is usually done is that a stiffener is added to the area of the connector. The stiffener is usually FR4 (with no copper) glued/epoxied to the flex on the backside of the connector.

Echter, maybe the application results in minimal bending without stiffeners. What counts as acceptable is rather dependent on the particular parts, the application, and the required reliability and lifetime, so it’s not easy to quantify.

Wat is het verschil tussen een prototype-PCB en een productie-PCB??

My project have gone through from design, prototype to mass production after lots of discussion and adjustment. Now the manufacturer are making our products in their product lines. And I would like to know is there any differences between the prototypes in my hand now and the final products output by the manufacturer?

Can we do wave solder the through hole parts without masking it?

We would like to do wave soldering for the through hole components. All through hole components are top side of PCB. Only test points, which require mask during process, are on the bottom side. So there is a extra labour cost at adding and removing the mask. Can we do wave solder the through hole parts without masking it?

How do you draw pin grid array in cadsoft Eagle PCB?

I’d like to use a processor that uses a pin grid array. Eigenlijk, I’d like to make the prototyping PCB board for it. I’m new to eagle. How can I connect the inner PGA pins to the header pins on the edge (without shorting the lines)?
