Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Flexible Circuit?
- A flexible circuit is a three dimensional interconnection system that provides nearly unlimited adaptability for electrical connections between various component parts.
- A flexible circuit usually consists of a flexible polymer film laminated to a thin sheet of copper that is etched to provide a defined pattern.
- Patterns can be created on both sides of the substrate film, with interconnections via plated through holes.
- A polymer covercoat may be added to insulate and environmentally seal the circuit.
What are some common reasons why Flexible Circuitry is used?
- Thin, low profile circuitry
- Weight reduction
- Assembly efficiency improvement
- Reliability improvement
- Dyamic Flexure of circuitry
- Three dimensional electronics packaging
- Compliant substrate for surface mount devices
