Benefits
The benefits of flexible circuits compared with conventional wiring and rigid PCBs include:
LIGHT WEIGHT
LOW MASS
RELIABILITY
REPEATABILITY
COST EFFECTIVENESS
ZERO "RATTLE"
These are but a few of the advantages on offer to the designer.
The weight reduction benefits associated with flexible circuits spans many industries including portable equipment, aerospace and of course, the automotive sector. Weight reduction in the motor car has a direct read across to performance and environmental implications which naturally feeds through to vehicle sales.
Similarly reliability is a major factor in all markets and applications and the use of flexible circuits enhances system performance and integrity by reducing the number of interconnects and substantially reducing the adverse effect of vibration.
