Can I attach a connector meant for a rigid PCB to a flex PCB?

Is it possible to connect a standard mezzanine connector to a flex PCB? D.w.z. could I use a mezzanine connector meant for connecting two rigid PCBs in a situation where one is flex and one is rigid?

What is usually done is that a stiffener is added to the area of the connector. The stiffener is usually FR4 (with no copper) glued/epoxied to the flex on the backside of the connector.

Echter, maybe the application results in minimal bending without stiffeners. What counts as acceptable is rather dependent on the particular parts, the application, and the required reliability and lifetime, so it’s not easy to quantify.

Do ICs have a shelf life?

What I would like to know is if ICs also have a limited shelf life and if so, do some types suffer more than others?

Does each process have its own PCB or there is just one?

To my understanding, each process in the operating system contains its own separate Process Control Block. Can someone explain this to me. Does each process have its own PCB or is there just one PCB that contains all the information for all the processes?
