All FPCs are made using a flexible substrate, such as polyimide. FPCs can be further categorized as rigid-flex or flat flexible. Rigid-flex circuits are a combination of rigid and flexible circuits that are interconnected by plated through holes. Flat flexible circuits are made of a single layer of conductive material that is laminated between two layers of insulating material.

Our FPCs are designed to be lightweight, thin, and flexible, making them ideal for use in appliances where a circuit that can be moved frequently is required, such as on a hinged lid. As the copper is bonded to the polyimide, the flexible circuit can withstand flexing and movement without any adverse effects. Components such as LEDs and switches can be soldered to the circuits, and locally applied stiffeners allow bulkier components such as IDC connectors to be applied.

Our FPCs can be cut to any shape or size, meaning a circuit can incorporate multiple flexible tails, removing the need for extra ribbon cables between PCBs. With the copper being chemically etched to form the track-work, an intricate and complex multi-layer flexible circuit can be created that can be finished in a variety of processes such as gold plating.
