Standard Flex

Single-Sided Flexible Circuits

When to Use Single-Sided Flex Circuits
  • Dynamic flexing applications
  • Unusual folding & forming applications
  • Installation/service applications/repair
  • Limitations on space/thickness
  • Installation/service flexing
Single-Sided Flex Circuit Features
  • Very thin construction under .004″-.008″ (.10mm-.20mm)
  • One conductive layer
  • Reverse bared or back bared pads
  • Supported & unsupported finger areas

Double-Sided Flexible Circuits

When to Use Double-Sided Flexible Circuits
  • Required when circuit density & layout can not be routed on a single layer
  • Ground & power plane applications
  • Shielding applications
  • Dense surface mount assembly
Double-Sided Flex Circuit Features
  • Component assembly available on both sides
  • Two conductive layers
  • Can be converted into a Sculptured Flex

Multi-Layer Flexible Circuits

When to Use Multi-Layer Flexible Circuits
  • Required when circuit density & layout cannot be routed on a single layer
  • Ground & power plane applications
  • Shielding applications
  • Dense surface mount assembly
  • Increased circuit density
  • Controlled impedance with shielding
Multi-Layer Flex Circuit Features
  • Up to eight conductive layers
  • Compatible with use of resistive foils like Cupronickel & Constantan
  • Unbonded regions to increase flexibility
  • EMI/RFI shielding
