About Flexible Circuits
Flexible circuits use polyimide films and other foldable substrates to meet the requirements of complex electronic manufacturing applications. They are designed to address problems of space and weight that cannot be resolved with traditional wiring methods and rigid printed circuit boards (PCBs). Flexible circuits such as microelectronic connectors are often designed for specialized configurations and demanding environments. Typically, a flex circuit is made of a flexible, polymer film that is laminated to a thin sheet of copper which is etched to produce a circuit pattern. These patterns can be created on one or both sides of the polymer film. Most microelectronic interconnections use plated through-holes. Often, a polymer overcoat is added to provide electrical insulation and prevent the ingress of dust, dirt, and other contaminants.<p>
