Turnkey Connectorized Flex, Rigid Flex, and Rigid PCB Assemblies Incorporating Glenair's Broad Range of Innovative Small Form-Factor Circular and Rectangular PC-Tail Connector Solutions for Optimized Ease-of-Assembly and SWaP
Flex circuits — metallic layers of traces, usually copper, bonded to a dielectric layer, like polyimide — are used to interconnect embedded electronic packages, displays, backplanes, and other PCB components. Flex and rigid-flex circuits are frequently superior to conventional wiring as they can be easily routed in three dimensions, are lighter and smaller than discrete wires, and offer virtually unlimited flex cycles in articulated applications. Flex and rigid-flex circuits are commonly deployed within avionic LRUs and other complex electronic systems, as well as between articulating components, such as disk drive, robotic arms, and other electro-mechanical devices.
Compared with conventional wiring, compact flexible printed circuit assemblies reduce system complexity and assembly time as well as enhance reliability. Due to their low mass and high circuit density, flex circuit assemblies are less susceptible to impact and vibration damage than conventional wire harness assemblies, making them an ideal choice in satellite applications such as articulated solar arrays, sensors, and antenna.
Glenair PALS Approved Interconnect Technologies reduce assembly process-time and skilled labor requirements in EWIS applications.
