Flexible Circuit Assembly
To start with, Flexible Circuit Assembly has been going strong for over 30 years. Additionally, SMT Polyester Assembly has used in high end assemblies for decades. For example, in the mid 80’s I remember sitting in the room full of Motorola Engineers and talking about Satellites, and the possibility of the Microteach cell phone replacing the Pager. By the same token, Statements like this would obsolete the home phone, and everybody would carry one someday. Although I agree, it seemed a little far-fetched at the time.
SMT Assembly
Flexible Circuit Assembly was popular in the mid 80’s with wave soldering for interconnecting, but going from SMT Kapton “Polyimide” to clear Polyester circuit to get the keypad to light seemed like an engineering challenge. Low melting point Mylar®, and high melting point 63/37 solder in high volume. SMT Assembly on Polyester came to life.
Flex Circuit Assembly on Polyester
Most importantly, the success of the cell phone has changed the world. References: PC World reported the StarTAC at #6 in the 50 Greatest Gadgets of the Past 50 Years and sold more than 60 million StarTAC phones. Flexible Circuit Assembly with Automated Assembly Corporation™ SMT-Flex® assembly.
Flexible Circuit Assembly 30 Years
In Conclusion, Flexible Circuit Assembly is over 30 years strong. SMT Polyimide, and now SMT Polyester have passed the test of time. Both technologies responding as if they were manufactured yesterday. Making the electronics world lighter, more flexible, and now more reliable over time. Many new industries are adopting flex circuits such as LED Light Strips for thermal management, RFID Windshield Sticker Tags for Long Life, ABS Breaks for Thermal Shock, Aviation Air Bags for reliability, flexible heaters for conformability, medical flex for size. Many industries requiring high reliability have SMT-Flex® assemblies in service for over 2 decades.
