The flexible interconnect family includes flexible assemblies, fine pitch PCB connectors, high-density flexible assemblies based on BGA, and flexorigid conductors using press-fit panel-back connectors.
FCI flexible connections incorporate many of the benefits of circuit-based flexible interconnects, including signal routing that features flat “2D” spaces, improving ventilation and natural release of flexible circuit mechanics that reduces stress on surface-mount soldered joints.
Furthermore, flexible assemblies reduce manufacturing complexity and costs. Additionally, low-density flexible materials contribute to a reduction in system weight. The laminated annealed copper construction withstands repeated movement and vibration in dynamic applications.
Flexible circuitry used in PCB connectors increases interconnection possibilities and electromechanical flexibility, thereby enhancing design and manufacturing freedom. A variety of shielding options and materials support electrical and EMI requirements.
FCI's flexible connector family is part of its versatile MezzSelect™.
