Reflow Rules for Mixed FR4 and Flex

Expert Panel Responses
You can not process the reflow soldering both FR4 pcb and flexible cable together since the flexible cable melt in reflow oven. The reflow cable can not withstand at reflow temp i.e 240 degree centigrade for leaded solering and 250 degree centigrade for leadfree soldering process.
