Flex | PCB
Advanced Lightweight Circuitry For Next Generation Ventures
Flexible circuits from Pioneer offer a versatile and reliable solution for a wide range of
electronic applications. The ability to be bent, twisted, and folded without breaking makes
this technology ideal for applications where space is limited or where the circuitry needs
to be able to move.
Endless Possibilities
Flexible Circuitry for Better Design
Flex printed circuit boards provide many design opportunities for our customers. In addition to
these basic design options, there are a number of other factors that need to be considered such
as bend radius, flexing cycles, and environmental conditions. PCI can ensure that your designs
will meet or exceed the specific requirements of your application.
Frequently Asked Questions
What design options does PCI offer for flexible circuits?
›
Flexible circuits can be designed in a variety of ways, depending on the specific application. Some of the most common design options include layer count, substrate material, conductor material, surface finish, and stiffeners.
What are some of the overall advantages of flexible circuitry?
›
- Flexibility: Flexible circuits can be bent, folded, and twisted
without damaging the circuit. This makes them ideal for applications where the PCB
needs to be able to move or conform to a curved surface.
- Weight savings: Flexible circuits are typically lighter than rigid
PCBs, which makes them ideal for applications where weight is a factor, such as
aerospace and medical devices.
- Space savings: Flexible circuits can be designed to fit into
complex or confined spaces. This makes them ideal for applications where space is
limited.
- Durability: Flexible circuits are typically very durable and can
withstand repeated bending and flexing. This makes them ideal for applications where
the PCB will be subjected to harsh conditions.
Which applications are best suited for flex?
›
Flexible circuits can be used in a variety of applications, such as factory automation equipment, robotics, and sensors. They are also used in many aerospace and defense applications.
