Routing Electrical Signals through a Hinge
Routing Electrical Signals through a Hinge
(OP)
For a consumer electronic device, I'm considering options for routing electrical signals through a hinge. It will be pretty similar to a flip phone's hinge. I'm brainstorming, so I'm not tied down to any particular solution (e.g. flex circuit or coaxial cable). I'm trolling craigslist for some old flip phones to teardown. In the meantime, is anyone familiar with relevant design guides or tips?
Thank you very much.

You could use anything from a flex/mylar pcb to a membrane switch tail with carbon printed on a thin plastic sheet to zif ribbon cable,etc...
