  • Dual-sided FPC assembly and related systems and methods for hotbar soldering FPC assemblies
    Patent number: 10687422
    Abstract: A flexible printed circuit assembly may include a flexible circuit body having a first side and an opposed second side. The circuit body may define first and second soldering areas along the first and second sides of the flexible circuit body, respectively. The first soldering area may include a first set of solder pads and the second soldering area may include a second set of solder pads. The assembly may also include a first stiffening member secured to the second side of the circuit body and a second stiffening member secured to the first side of the circuit body. The first stiffening member may be laterally aligned with the first set of solder pads defined on the first side of the circuit body and the second stiffening member may be laterally aligned with the second set of solder pads defined on the second side of the circuit body.
