Post by thread:[OT]:source for flexible circuit board

I am fabricating a one-of-kind device for research that requires lightweight flexible circuit board. Could someone give me a lead on a source for purchasing small quantities ( one or two 8x12 pieces) of flexible double-sided printed circuit board? Any help would be appreciated. R.

How flexible does it need to be? I have some PCB material from "Rogers corporation, Microwave materials division" (100 S Roosevelt, Chandler AZ, 85224) Labled "Rogers RT/Duroid", this is perhaps 1/32 inch thick and about as flexible as poster-board (might be a bit more flexible once most of the copper is off.) I assume this stuff has a magical dielectric (all teflon?) and costs a small fortune bought new. (mine was surplus and cheap, heh heh.) BillW

Do you recall you surplus supplier?

I have some old samples that are single sided. They are BEND/flex brand from Rogers Corporation Composites Division One Technology Drive Rogers, CT 06263 USA I have no way of knowing if this address is still valid.
