There are many who keep asking one simple question – why are flex circuits treated important? The answer to this question lies in the number of purposes it is used. Flexible electronics or flex circuit boards are two glaring examples of these purposes. They are characterised because of their printed wiring and patterned arrangement. These products are well known for using flexible base material. When it comes to flex pcb, they fall under three broad classifications namely the dual access double-sided, rigid flexes multilayer and single layer. Each variety is well designed with perfect design connotations. PET or polyester, PI or polyimide and PEN or polyethylene naphthalene are some of the materials that find an increased use during their manufacturing process. However, the manufacturing process of flex circuits has seen some wide number of technological advancements taking place in this regard. This has resulted in use of other materials like constantan, gold, beryllium copper and stainless steel. There are some advanced and sophisticated processes that often see the use of some other materials like high-elongation copper or ED, silver conductive ink, roll-annealed copper or RA, to name a few. This one process is well reputed for mounting electronic device components over the conductive polyester substrate. Subsequently, on attaining perfect fusing, it enables in deriving right shapes or sizes. These days, finding them in small devices like cell phones and cameras and larger devices like rockets, satellites and cars is very common. Because these circuits are very flexible in nature, they are extremely helpful in offering right kind of advantage while molding devices. It is due to this flexible nature that they are capable of overcoming space constraints, which makes it easy for forming a circuit board. This in turn goes a long way in powering the functions found in the mother device.
