Flexible Circuit Technologies, design and manufacturing

Advanced Features

As the flex circuit market continues to expand, there have been many advances in technology, including but not limited to:

Hybrid Flex / Cable – Depending on the specific interconnect needs of the customer, flat flex circuits can be combined with nearly any other type of circuit or circuit component to create a cost effective design solution.	Two Layer Rigid with Flat Flexible Cable Hot Bar Solder

Hot Bar Solder Termination – Process of connecting a flat flex circuit to another circuit. Typically, the most efficient and durable way to connect a flat flex circuit to another (rigid or flex).	FFC with Hot Bar Solder to PCB Subassembly

Pre-assembly Creasing – Flat flexible circuit cabling can folded many times over. If desired, Flexible Circuit can manufacture creases into the cabling so that the folding process is simplified during assembly.	Folding or Creasing

Stiffeners – While flat flex circuits are built for dynamic flex situations, stiffeners can be applied where the circuit needs to remain static.	Stiffener

Crimp Pins – One of the most common termination methods for flat flex circuits is soldering. As such, crimp solder tabs can be built into the flat flex circuit.	Flat Flex Cable Crimp Solder Tabs Laser Slots

Marking – Through polarity stripping or applying a special ink, Flexible Circuit can put any combination of text on the flat flex circuit.	Marking
