Double Sided Flex

A double sided flex circuit is a circuit with two conductive layers, and there is a conductive layer on each side of the polyimide base layer in the circuit. Trace patterns can be created on both sides of the substrate film according to your needs, and can be connected to copper-plated through holes where needed. Electroplating through holes establishes an electrical connection between the two layers.

As a connecting device, compared with traditional wiring and rigid boards, the main advantages of flexible circuits include:

  • Reduce wiring errors
  • Eliminate mechanical connectors
  • Unparalleled design flexibility
  • Higher circuit density
  • More stable operating temperature range
  • Stronger signal quality
  • Improved reliability and impedance control
  • Reduced size and weight

Flexible printed circuits have many benefits, including:

Reduce assembly errors

With precise design and automated production, flexible circuits eliminate human error in handmade wiring harnesses. Except for production-caused errors, the circuit is only routed to those points required by the accurate design plan.

Reduce assembly time and cost

Flexible circuits require less manual labor and reduce production errors during the assembly process. Flexible circuits have the inherent ability to integrate form, assembly, and function. Flexible circuits eliminate the high cost of wiring, winding, and welding wires. Install or replace a complete interconnection system instead of a separate hard PC board. As a result, wiring errors are eliminated and manufacturing costs are reduced. Whether it is small scale production of complex circuits or large scale production of simple circuits, assembly time and cost will be reduced.

Design freedom

Unlike rigid boards, flexible circuits are not limited to two dimensions. Since they are as flexible as wires or ribbon cables, the options for flexible circuit design are endless. At flexible circuits, we are proud to be able to meet the most complex design challenges. The design of flexible circuits can meet highly complex and unimaginable configurations while being able to operate in the harshest environments. Flexible circuit design may require any of the following:

  • Highly complex configuration
  • Withstand harsh operating environments
  • Single and double combination
  • Complex interconnection
  • Shield
  • Rigidity/Flexibility
  • Surface mount equipment
 
Flexibility during installation

Flexible circuits allow the use of a third dimension because they can be interconnected between two or more planes during execution. Therefore, they solve space and weight issues that rigid boards cannot match. Flexible circuits can be operated multiple times during installation and execution without electronic failure.

High density applications

Flexible circuits allow extremely narrow lines, giving way to high-density device clusters. Dense device counts and lighter conductors can be designed into products, freeing up space for other product features.

Improve airflow

Due to its streamlined design, flex circuits allow cooling air to flow through electronic applications.

Increase heat dissipation

Flexible circuits allow for shorter thermal paths due to their large surface area to volume ratio and compact design. Additionally, the thinner design of the flex circuit allows heat to dissipate from both sides of the circuit.

Improve system reliability

In the past, most circuit failures occurred at interconnection points. Flexible circuit designs can reduce interconnections, thereby increasing circuit reliability.

Point-to-point line replacement

Depending on the number of point-to-point connections in a circuit design, at Flexible Circuits, we guarantee that a single flex circuit can be designed and built to eliminate many, if not all, of these interconnections. At Flex Circuits, “We go where others don’t go.”

Reliability and durability

In designs with moving parts, flexible circuits can move and bend up to 500 million times without failure. Polyimide’s excellent thermal stability also enables circuits to withstand extremely hot applications. The thermal stability of polyimide provides a better foundation for surface mounting than rigid boards. Because a compliant base film places less stress on the solder joint, thermal mismatch is less likely to occur.

Repeatable route

Our circuits are made from accurate reproductions of artworks with superior manufacturing consistency. Etched circuitry replaces soldering and hand-wiring connections to rigid boards, eliminating wiring errors.

Simplified circuit geometry

Flex circuit technology places surface mount electronics directly on the circuit, simplifying the overall design. Complex patterns that are nearly impossible to achieve using rigid circuit boards can be easily achieved in flexible circuits.

Package size and weight reduction

Multiple systems on a rigid board create more weight and utilize more space. Flexible circuits contain the thinnest dielectric substrates. The thinness allows for a streamlined design, eliminating the need for bulky rigid panels. Elasticity and flexibility can reduce package size. In addition to reducing package size, reducing package weight is another benefit. As the demands of the electronics industry continue to increase, weight reduction allows flexible circuits to remain very competitive.

In summary, if you have flex circuit design or flex printed circuit board needs, we can help.

Flexible Printed Circuits FPC Advantages

FPC is a printed circuit made of flexible insulating substrate, with many advantages that rigid printed circuit boards do not have:can be free to bend, coil, and fold, according to the requirements of the spatial layout of any arrangement, and in three-dimensional space, arbitrary movement, and expansion, to achieve the integration of component assembly and wire connection; The use of FPC can greatly reduce the volume and weight of electronic products, applicable electronic products to high-density, miniaturization, and high reliability in the direction of development needs. Therefore, FPC in aerospace, military, mobile communications, laptop computers, computer peripherals, PDA, digital cameras, and other fields or products have been widely used; FPC also has good heat dissipation and solderability as well as easy to install and connect, has a lower overall cost, and has other advantages.
