Flex PCB Manufacturing
Today's electronic products in all industries continue to get smaller with demand for enhanced functionality. This leaves no choice for our customers to move into the HDI (High-Density Interconnect) applications using Flex and Rigid-Flex technology. This allows the customer to use thinner materials with smaller geometries while, at the same time, custom fitting to the overall product solution. A few examples of using flexible circuits are in modern wearables, portable electronics, handheld devices, disk drives, and desktop printers. This is also limited to smaller products and more extensive applications because of weight and impedance advantages and improving the loss for high-speed circuits (speeds up to 80 Gig, etc). Tech Driven EMS will help you find a reliable and cost-effective solution whether you are a first-timer or a veteran of flexible printed circuits.

Advanced Miltilayer Flex & Rigid-Flex
BookBinder Technology for Flex
This Flex technology calls for staggering the length of each flexible layer, eliminating the buckling and significantly reducing the compression/tension forces introduced when multiple flex layers are bent into configuration. The result is a much more flexible and durable end product.
Blind & Buried Vias Technology
Virtually all of today’s advanced rigid PCB manufacturing technologies can be used in rigid-flex designs. Tech Driven has extensive experience fabricating Flex & Rigid-Flex with features such as laser-drilled micro vias, sequential laminations, epoxy fill, copper-filled vias, via-in-pad, and other advanced construction technologies.
Shielding Technology (silver Ink)
Dupont CB028 is a flexible silver-loaded polymer ‘ink’ created explicitly for EMI/RFI shielding on flex applications. Substantial gains in flexibility can be achieved in many cases by replacing the copper shield layers with silver ink. The average thickness of the silver ink layer is approximately one mil.
Constantan
This material can be used instead of copper to form conductors when heat load is a significant consideration. Typical applications for this type of thermal management are focal plane arrays in infrared (IR) imaging equipment. We have also used adhesive constantan laminates for controlled resistance via copper micro-plating.
