Flex Circuit, Rigid Flex Circuit, PCBA, and Optical Flex Assemblies
IPC-6012/6013 CLASS III, TYPES 1–4
PCB/Flex Circuit Assemblies are an alternative to standard wire or ribbon cable in electrical wire interconnect systems. Designed to reduce size and weight — and improve reliability — Flexible Printed Circuits (FPC) utilize thin layers of polymer film as a dielectric sandwiched between conductive circuit patterns etched into layers of copper foil cladding. After connectorization, these low-profile, lightweight assemblies may be installed directly within an electronic equipment housing as a turnkey sub-assembly.
Replacing Complicated Wire Bundle Assemblies with High-Density Flex Circuit Assemblies Assures Faster, Error-Free LRU Assembly
- Single-sided, double-sided, and multilayer flex circuitry
- Flex, rigid flex, and PCBA board assemblies
- Through-hole and surface-mount connector terminations
- Turnkey catalog jumper assemblies
- Fairway-Flex long-length flex circuit assemblies
Turnkey connectorized flex, rigid flex, and rigid PCB assemblies incorporating Glenair's broad range of innovative small form-factor circular and rectangular PC-tail connector solutions. All terminations backpotted for compliance with conformal coating processes.
Space-grade Series 28 HiPer-D to Series 80 Mighty Mouse I/O jumper: a tight space-constrained rectangular-to-circular solutionSpace-grade Micro-D flex assembly with NASA EEE-INST-002 screeningFlex circuit assemblies are ideal for space-constrained electronic packages and enclosures, or for interconnect systems that are required to flex in 3 axes during normal use. Flex circuitry offers complete freedom to design boards and wiring for even the most densely-packed electronic enclosures. In mission-critical applications, the ability to reduce or even eliminate discrete wiring and boards in favor of flex circuitry helps designers make the most efficient use of available space.
