High speed digital / RF / microwave connectorsĮpec is a leading experienced miniature printed circuit board developer and manufacturer with an eye on industry tolerances and customer service.Applications we supply mini flexible PCBs include: The continuous miniaturization of devices has driven printed circuit boards to become smaller and denser and require more capabilities. Hard Gold, ENIG, ENEPIG, OSP, Immersion Silver, Immersion Tin, Plating Tin Productġ/4 oz, 1/3 oz, 1/2 oz 1 oz, 2 oz, and higher However, every application is different so please contact us with your design questions so that we can review your application parameters. The following table outlines our general capabilities for flexible microcircuits. In-house punch press and tooling manufacturing capabilities improves our time to market.Microcircuits require very fine line and spaces which requires specialized etching equipment.Adding small stiffeners to allow one end of the material to be rigid.Using LPI solder mask on flexible substrate to keep solder mask damns intact.Gold plating for use in connector terminal applications.Impedance values that can be held to +/-5% even in high volume applications.Keeping a very tight outline tolerance.The size of the microcircuit depends on the application but some of the key items that are important to many customers are: With component sizing getting smaller every year, it allows very small flexible PCBs to include significant functionality along with being a passive component to provide connectivity in certain applications. Every flexible PCB is designed to perform a function inside an allotted space, but they also need to be manufacturable, need to be held to strict mechanical tolerances, and need to be cost effective. As technology advances devices get smaller and the speed requirements of data transmission on circuit boards increases.
