Flexible Printed Circuits
Overview
Two Layer Flex with Stiffeners
Flexible printed circuitry was originally designed as a replacement for traditional wire harnesses. From early applications during World War II, to the present, growth and proliferation continues exponentially. Flexible circuitry in its purest form is a vast array of conductors bonded to a thin dielectric film. Any one of the following descriptions refers to flexible printed circuitry (FPC):
- Flex Circuits
- Flexible Printed Wiring Boards
- Flexible PCBs
From simple applications to the most complex, the versatility of flex circuits is unmatched. At Flexible Circuit, our motto is, "We Go Where Others Will Not." If it seems impossible, Flexible Circuit is happy to take on any design challenge that you bring, crossing any industry: automotive, medical, telecom, industrial or commercial… just to name a few.
Single Layer Flex
As a connective device, the primary benefits of flex circuits compared to traditional cabling and rigid boards include:
- Reduced wiring errors
- Elimination of mechanical connectors
- Unparalleled design flexibility
- Higher circuit density
- More robust operating temperature range
- Stronger signal quality
- Improved reliability and impedance control
- Size and weight reduction
