About PFC Flexible Circuits

Pushing the Limits of Possibility!

Since our founding in 1997, PFC has delivered leading flex circuit technology across several markets. Ours extensive engineering experience allows us to work hand-in-hand with our customers to develop cost-effective solutions correctly the first time. Specializing in low to mid volume complex flex circuits, our team provides design, manufacturing, and assembly with advanced capabilities to meet our clients’ most challenging needs.

Products

The mechanical and electrical needs of a project determine the type of flexible circuit used. When selecting a flexible circuit, weigh the advantages of the circuit against the total installed cost, including inspection, interconnection, tooling and testing. PFC experts help guide clients on the best flex circuit to maximize efficiency and minimize costs.

Single sided

Single-sided flex circuits are the most basic type of flexible circuits. They have one layer of copper laminated between polyimide dielectrics. We chemically etch the copper layer to produce a circuit pattern specific to design requirements. Stiffeners, pins, connectors, and components, are optional. Single-sided flex circuits are durable across applications and are excellent for installations in with small spaces.

Rigid Flex

Rigid flex circuits combine the benefits of rigid boards and flexible circuits integrated into one circuit. The two-in-one circuit is interconnected through plated through holes. Rigid flex circuits provide higher component density and better quality control. The slideshow below shows an eight layer rigid flex circuit used for a medical device. Four layers are rigid and four layers are flexible. There are connectors required on two different sides of the circuit, which is carrying signals and power.

Double sided

Double-sided circuits have two layers of copper laminated between polyimide dielectrics. In most cases, the two layers of copper are electrically connected by drilling small holes through the copper circuits and the separating dielectric. The holes are then plated with copper to make a connection between them. The slideshow below shows the artwork required for each layer of the circuit build.

Sculptured Flex

Sculpted flexible circuits have sculpted pins, which are made as a through-hole connector. Sculptured terminal pins are built-in and extended beyond the boundary of the polyimide base material. These pins are plugged into a series of holes in a PCB and then soldered. This circuit design, is also able to be soldered to a series of surface mount pads. Sculpted flex circuits are often chosen to eliminate the need and cost of a ZIF connector.

Multi Layer

Multi-layer flexible circuits combine several single-sided or double-sided circuits with complex interconnections, shielding and/or surface mounted technologies in a multi-layer design. The number of conductor layers designed into multi-layer flex circuits are limitless. The package size, layer count vs. flexibility is considered during the design layout for ease of installation. Below is a slideshow of a four layer flex circuit for a digital camera application.

High Speed Data Links

PFC has created the PFC High Speed Data Link Flexible Circuits product line, in collaboration with Samtec. The PFC Data Link is a direct cross to the Samtec Data Link product line, a leader in transmitting and receiving digital information. Our strategic partnership with Samtec has provided customers with improved interconnectivity for PFC and expert flex circuit assembly for Samtec.

SERVICES

DESIGN SUPPORT

PFC helps with the design of flex circuits for thinner, lighter, and smaller technology using a special set of requirements unique to flexible circuitry. Understanding how these requirements interact allows them to create flex circuits that balance the electrical and mechanical features into a reliable, cost-effective interconnected solution. They deliver dynamic products that ultimately enable clients to reduce material and labor costs and limit the number of complex connections in a design.

DEVELOPMENT

PFC delivers full turnkey flexible circuit development. Their experienced team evaluates customer processes and products to provide insight on flex circuit efficiency. PFC’s early customer engagement process will develop the best design and engineering solutions.

MSNUFACTURING & ASSEMBLY
