PACKAGING AND MINIATURATION SOLUTIONS
Flexible circuit thinness and light weight will enable a substantial
packaging size reduction.
Flexible circuits allow unique designs which solve interconnection
problems.
Flexible circuits ability to be folded or creased and positioned
into the smallest areas makes miniaturization of many devices possible.
2
- COST REDUCTION
Thin and flexible polyimide film requires a much smaller area,
reducing the packaging size and overall material costs.
Flex circuits used as interconnects reduce the number of connections
to be soldered. Elimination of connectors and solder joints reduce
costs.
3
- REPLACEMENT FOR WIRES AND WIRE HARNESS ASSEMBLIES
Flex circuits are an efficient and cost saving method to eliminate
wires and wire harness assemblies.
Flex circuit wiring simplifies designs.
Flex circuits used to replace wiring reduces the errors common
in hand wired assemblies.
4
- HIGH TEMPERATURE APPLICATIONS
Flex circuits dissipate heat at a better rate than other dielectric
materials.
Flexible circuits are consistently reliable in high temperature
environments.
Expansion and contraction are minimized when using polyimide circuitry.
5
- WEIGHT REDUCTION Substantial weight reduction is a
benefit over wires and wire harnesses.
Polyimide films can be as thin as .004 inches in total.
6
- DYNAMIC FLEXING
The flexibility of polyimide film makes flex circuits the leading
choice for interconnecting movable components.
