Hi, I am looking to get a flex PCB made for a project I'm doing, and I'm kinda at a loss as to where to get it produced. JLCPCB has been my go-to for regular PCBs for a long time due to their unbeatable prices and high quality and fast turnaround times. But they don't offer flex PCB services.
So, I'm hoping some of you have some experience making flex PCBs and could herhaps offer some wisdom on getting them made. The only one I've seen really is PCBway, but they seem to charge an arm and a leg for them. So if there are any manufacturers that are less expensive, that would be great.
Also, I've seen most commonly the orangey kapton type flex PCbs, but I've also seen types like this that seem to have a solder mask material on them, likely making them more durable. Does anyone know what this is called, and where I might be able to get that made?
