Preselection Programs for PCBs and OEMs: Advantages and Options.

The article discusses the advantages of material preselection for printed circuit board (PCB) design and production. It mentions that rigid and flexible circuit designers should consider end-product safety issues such as flammability, delamination and maximum operating temperatures. It cites polyimide films as the most commonly used material for manufacturing flexible PCBs. It stresses that preselection allows designers to determine the function of a component in the end-product use.
