Their distinguishing factors include repeated dynamic flexing and the ability to fold into nearly any shape, evenly distributing stress especially when compared to traditional cabling. Flat flex circuits can be designed to hold any number of electrical components or simply as a connector between two circuits. Common industry applications include, but are not limited to: consumer electronics, telecommunications, medical, automotive, industrial and commercial.

By virtue of their design, they will out-flex, or out-live, conventional wiring. Superior Heat Dissipation – Due to the larger surface-to-volume ratio and compact design of flat flex circuits compared to traditional round wire, a shorter thermal path is allowed. Light Weight – Compared to traditional round cables, flat flex circuits are extremely thin, making them considerably lighter. Low Profile – Especially when compared to traditional cable, flat flex circuits’ thin design can help resolve some of the most complex design challenges. Durability – Particularly, in designs that have moving parts, the flat flex circuit can move and flex up to 5 million times without a failure. Point-to-Point Wire Replacement – Depending on the number of point-to-point connections in a circuit design, flat flex circuits are an easy solution when connecting various components within an application. Foldable – Flat flexible circuit cabling can folded many times over, enabling easier routing, particularly where space is limited. Multiple Termination Options – Flat flex circuits can be attached through a hot bar soldering process, through hole soldering or a variety of different connectors. In summary, if you have flexible circuit design or flexible printed circuit board needs, we can help.
