When Flex Circuits Meet Water: Critical Factors for Reliable Performance

While most flexible circuits are used in a relatively dry environment, there are applications where water contact or submersion is required. Knowing in advance what types of water contact variables can affect the performance of the flex will help you to create a successful design. You need to first evaluate the application and answer the […]

Understanding Tolerances in Flexible Circuit Design

The challenge with cumulative tolerances is meeting the dimensional requirements for items dimensioned on a drawing or specification for a flexible or rigid-flex circuit. It is critical to understand the fabrication processes and how features are defined when creating your tolerance requirements. Read the full article at I-Connect 007 – Mar 2026

Terminating Flex Circuits

There are many connectors and termination options that are manufactured specifically for use with flexible circuits and flat flexible cables.  Zero insertion force (ZIF) connectors (Figure 1) and insulation displacement connectors (Figure 2) are both good examples. They offer reliable and inexpensive ways to terminate a flexible circuit. At the same time virtually any connector
