I was recently visiting a client to discuss a new flex circuit application. They were trying to fit 10 pounds of electronics into an existing 5 pound package by utilizing flex circuit technology without making any changes to the current overall industrial design package. Everything had to fit into...
While mass soldering processes dominate soldering applications, hand soldering remains critical in electronics manufacturing. Existing processes (e.g. convection oven reflow, vapor phase, wave flow, selective wave flow, etc.) are very efficient and offer high volume capacity but may not always be suitable. One of these special situations is when the thermal mass...
So you need a flex circuit but your application demands a black substrate to keep the light out? There was a time when you simply could not get what you wanted. Times have changed. The need for colors other than the typical amber for flex PCBs has grown over...
Ever increasing signal speeds and high noise environments make EMI/RFI shielding an essential requirement for FFC’s (Flat Flexible Cables). PICA can offer various shielding options. The least expensive option is a foil laminated to the outside of the cable. This can be applied to one or both sides....
