Turnkey PCB/Flex Interconnect Assemblies

What are Integrated Flex Assemblies?Rigid or flexible plastic substrates, with integrated electronic circuits, connectorized and ready for immediate customer use

Why Choose Board or Flex Assemblies?Flex assembly vs round wire assemblies

1. Less weight and bulk2. Virtually eliminates wiring errors3. Total installed cost is less4. Tightly assembled electronic packages5. Dynamic (Flex in application)6. Direct in 3 different axes

Complex Wiring Replacement

§ Lower total installed cost§ Reduced size/weight§ Easier termination and

installation of multiple connectors

§ Wiring errors virtually eliminated

Step 3: Define Mechanical Schematic

§ Customer Supplied 3-D file to determine “keep out areas”

§ “Napkin Sketch” with rough idea of routing

§ Customer Supplied 2-D DXF

Step 4: Define Electricals

§ To approximate layer count, we need a wiring diagram complete with signal types, currents, and shielding requirements

§ Can determine ROM pricing
