So are we:
Teknoflex is the UK's largest supplier of flexible and FRML circuits into defence equipment for both UK and overseas markets.
The breadth of our technological capability extends from simple single and double-sided circuits to complex FRMLs including high integrity Regal Flex circuits.
We also manufacture Sculptured circuits and have in house through hole and surface mount component and connector assembly facilities.
Combinations of FRML circuits and Sculptured circuits, the benefit afforded by our novel brazed pin technology and custom low profile connectors are further areas of differentiation available to the designer.
Whatever your equipment requirements are in terms of component packaging and interconnection, they can be addressed by Teknoflex.
Benefits
The benefits of flexible circuits compared with conventional wiring and rigid PCBs include:
LIGHT WEIGHT
LOW MASS
RELIABILITY
REPEATABILITY
COST EFFECTIVENESS, ETC
These are but a few of the advantages on offer to the designer.
The benefits of low weight and low mass in applications where payload and physical constraints are paramount will be obvious to the reader.
In avionic applications weight is a major consideration impacting on range and weapon carrying capability. Similarly the ability to package and interconnect components into the smallest possible envelope whilst enhancing reliability are major benefits afforded by this technology.
This statement is equally applicable to air, sea and land applications.
There are few, if any, sectors of the defence equipment industry which are not taking advantage of the considerable benefits offered by the use of flexible circuits.
