Automated Assembly’s Expertise in Flexible Circuits
Flexible circuits, also known as flex circuits, is a technology for assembling electronic components on to flexible plastic or other transparent materials. Flexible circuits and electronic assemblies may be manufactured using identical components used for rigid circuit boards, allowing the board to conform to a desired shape or flex.
Automated Assembly are experts in flex and have a patented portfolio that includes the ability to solder circuits onto polyester further reducing manufacturing costs.
