Extended-Length Flex | PCB
Long Flexible Printed Circuit Board (PCB) - Taking Flex Further Than Before
With Pioneer’s unique splicing technology, the capability to manufacture long, flexible printed circuit board (PCB) solutions larger than the standard flex material beyond 33 feet (10 meters) has never been easier, while maintaining our proven reliability and durability for the most extreme environments.
PIONEER CIRCUITS: PUSHING BOUNDARIES IS OUR SPECIALTY
Breaking Size Barriers with Long Flexible Printed Circuit Board PCB Technology
Pioneer Circuits can manufacture flexible printed wiring boards that are larger than the standard flex material of 24″ x 85″. Our panel size can go up to over 24″ x 85″, and our unique splicing technology allows us to manufacture even larger sizes!
Using our long, flexible printed circuit board (PCB) to replace standard-size circuits eliminates the need for connectors and assembly labor, offers a lighter alternative, provides greater flexibility, and improves reliability for the end-use application.
