Flexible Circuit Structures Come in Many Variations

Flexible Rigid Circuit Boards

There are a few fundamental constructions of flexible circuit boards, but there is an important variation between the different types of conditions in their production. Following is an evaluation of the most general types of flexible circuit board constructions. Single-sided Flexible Circuits Single-sided flexible circuits contain a single conductor layer prepared of either a metal or … Read moreFlexible Circuit Structures Come in Many Variations

Flexible Circuit Board Design and Manufacturing

Flexible Circuit Boards

The design rules for flex circuits are similar to the design rules for traditional PCBs.  Traditional PCBs and flex circuits share some similarities in the manufacturing process as well.  To start, the flexible circuit board material (typically copper clad Polyimide) is chosen, drilled, plated, photo-imaged, implement and imprinted just like the conservative PCB process. Next, both … Read moreFlexible Circuit Board Design and Manufacturing

Applications of Flexible Circuits

Flexible Rigid Circuit Boards

Flexible Circuits are frequently used as connectors in different applications where flexibility, space savings, or construction constraints limit the service capability of rigid circuit boards or hand wiring. In LCD fabrication, glass is used as a substrate. If thin, flexible plastic or metal foil is used as the substrate instead, the whole system can be … Read moreApplications of Flexible Circuits
