Flex

Flex and rigid-flex circuits have found wide use in electronics packaging.

  • Some of the benefits of this form of packaging are:
    • High Reliability
      • Repeatable installations
      • Harsh environments
      • High Vibration
    • Conductor patterns maintain uniform electrical characteristics. Can predict and control noise, crosstalk and impedance
    • Reduce assembly cost
    • Replacement for a circuit board and wires
    • Reduce weight and space
    • Dynamic flexing
  • Some of the possible uses of flex are:
    • Substitute flex for bulky wire harnesses
    • Replace hardboard / connector / cable assemblies with rigid flex or flex with stiffeners
    • Flexible shields or ground planes to reduce noise. Design conductor patterns to block specific types of electrical interference
    • Enhance high-speed signal integrity with matched-impedance flex circuits
    • Miniature jumpers on circuit boards
    • Bend flex to fit where the smallest hardboards can’t go
  • ASC offers a variety of solutions including:
    • Single Sided Flex
    • Double Sided Flex
    • Multi-layer Flex
    • Rigid-Flex
