Flexible printed circuit board

multilayerlongfor medical applications

Moog is a premier prototype printed circuit board manufacturing facility. As a company, we take pride in our work and invite you to visit us for a review of your specialty requirements. Moog offers flex and rigid flex product for prototype orders, as well as mid to high volume production quantities. Current Technologies: • Single sided flex with single and double barred cover-lay openings • Double sided flex circuits with or without stiffeners • Multi-layer flex circuits with or without stiffeners • Rigid flex circuits Flex circuits are made from non-conductive materials such as polyimide where conductive pathways are etched from copper sheets and then laminated together to form the final product. Although flex circuits were originally designed to replace bulky wiring harnesses, they also provide an alternative to the rigid board where weight and thickness reduction are of utmost importance. Flexible circuit boards offer more compact packaging which in turn resolves space and weight issues. Smaller and neater assemblies are more aesthetically pleasing to potential customers. Flexible circuit boards provide mechanical support as well as electrical connections. The flexibility and durability of the material allows for dynamic flexing without risking the integrity of the traces. Flex allows engineers the ability to miniaturize circuits and increase functional capacity providing better impedance control. Flexible circuits also offer thermal management for high temperature applications by dispersing heat at a faster rate than other dielectric materials.
