Reduce Assembly Error– 

The circuit is printed and thus, eliminated human errors once involved in hand-built wire harnesses.

Reduce Assembly Time and Costs 

Flex circuits require less manual labor during assembly and reduce production errors. Flex circuits have an intrinsic ability to integrate form, fit and function. Flex circuits eliminate the high cost of routing, wrapping and soldering wires. Complete interconnection systems are installed or replaced, rather than individual hard PC boards. As a result, wiring errors are eliminated and hence manufacturing costs are reduced. Whether it is a low volume production with a complex circuit or high volume production with a simple circuit, assembly time and costs are decreased.

Flexibility in Design

Unlike rigid boards, flex circuits are not restricted to two dimensions. Because they are as flexible as wires or ribbon cables, flex circuit design options are endless.

• ·        Complex configurations and interconnects
• ·        Withstand hostile operating environments
• ·        Single- Double- combinations
• ·        Shielding
• ·        Rigid/flex capabilities
• ·        Surface mounted devices

Signal Integrity

When signals need to transfer from one PCB to the next there is no better transition than having no transition at all.  No connectors, no expensive controlled impedance cables, no parasitic loss of inductance and capacitance, and with a bare minimum number of vias, the critical traces stay on the same flex copper layer and within the same stripline or microstrip structure from point A to point B.
