Wearable PCB and
Interconnect Solutions

Wearable electronics demand more than small size. They require lightweight circuitry that can flex, conform, and perform reliably through repeated movement, heat, moisture, and daily use.

PICA combines ultra-thin flex, rigid-flex, precision routing, and responsive engineering support to help wearable product teams fit more performance into less space.
