Application: Design guidelines to improve the flexibility and reliability of flexible circuits. Many of the issues that arise when using a flex circuit come from a lack of knowledge about how to properly design one, especially when the circuit is required to bend....

One of All Flex’s unique capabilities is in fabricating very large circuits and heaters.   By large, we mean beyond the standard 24” panel length typical of many circuit board suppliers, and in fact we have produced individual parts 40 feet and longer.   We call this...

Mating with Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) connectors is an increasingly popular termination for...

The benefits of flexible circuits, which are explained below, are plentiful. From solving packaging problems to amazing thermal management, All Flex flexible circuits are designed with the customer in mind. See how you can benefit from a flex circuit click here to...

The circuit traces of a flexible PCB often needs a dielectric covering to selectively protect the traces from shorting against a conductive surface or to prevent select areas from subsequent metal coating or plating operations. The dielectric will have openings that...

One of the great features of a flexible PCB is that it can come in just about any shape or size. The final shape is defined when the completed circuit pattern is removed from the base substrate. Flex circuits are either fabricated in sheets or in rolls. There are a...

This section of our guide addresses rules specifically pertaining to conductor and pad design recommendations. Due to the flexible nature of the material during both manufacturing and application use, the following information is recommended to produce the highest...

One of the first steps in fabricating a flexible circuit is to create a circuitry pattern. In order to correctly define the circuit pattern, one needs to understand the basic process for building a circuit. Processes tend to fall in one of the following two...
