A double sided flex circuit is a circuit having two conductive layers, one on each side of the base layer of polyimide within the circuit. Trace patterns, specific to your needs, can be created on both sides of the substrate film and can be connected where desired with copper plated through-holes. The plated through holes make electrical connections between the two layers.
As a connective device, the primary benefits of flexible circuits compared to traditional cabling and rigid boards include:
Reduced wiring errors
Elimination of mechanical connectors
Unparalleled design flexibility
Higher circuit density
More robust operating temperature range
Stronger signal quality
Improved reliability and impedance control
Size and weight reduction
There are many benefits to Flexible Printed Circuits including:
Assembly Error Reduction – With accurate designs and automated production, flex circuits eliminate human errors once involved in hand-built wire harnesses. With the exception of production-induced errors, circuits are ONLY routed to those points called for by the accurate design plan.
Decreased Assembly Time and Costs – Flex circuits require less manual labor during assembly and reduce production errors. Flex circuits have an intrinsic ability to integrate form, fit and function. Flex circuits eliminate the high cost of routing, wrapping and soldering wires. Complete interconnection systems are installed or replaced, rather than individual hard PC boards. As a result, wiring errors are eliminated and hence manufacturing costs are reduced. Whether it is a low volume production with a complex circuit or high volume production with a simple circuit, assembly time and costs are decreased.
Design Freedom – Unlike rigid boards, flex circuits are not restricted to two dimensions. Because they are as flexible as wires or ribbon cables, flex circuit design options are endless. At Flexible Circuit, we pride ourselves on taking on the most complex of design challenges. Flex circuits can be designed to meet highly complex and unimaginable configurations while being able to operate in the most hostile environments. Flex circuit designs could entail any of the following:
Highly complex configurations
Withstand hostile operating environments
Single- Double- combinations
Complex interconnections
Shielding
Rigid/flex capabilities
Surface mounted devices
