Low-temperature printed circuit route

Flexible & Polymer Thick Film Circuits

Polymer thick film materials are printed and cured on a compatible flexible or rigid substrate. Ink, film, layer interfaces, bend condition, contact system, adhesive, connector, environment, and life target govern the design.

What is fixed before quotation

Substrate
Specified PI, PET, FR4, or another surface qualified for the selected polymer ink and cure
Printed functions
Conductors, resistors, sensor tracks, contacts, selected heater patterns, and protective layers
Mechanical inputs
Static bend, dynamic flex, bend radius, support, stiffener, connector, adhesive, and assembly pressure
Verification
Electrical function before and after project-selected bend, wear, humidity, temperature, chemical, and life exposure

  1. 01

    Film material, thickness, outline, holes, datums, support, bend direction, and minimum bend radius

  2. 02

    Separate artwork for conductors, resistors, contacts, protection, adhesive, and keep-outs

  3. 03

    Resistance or curve targets, current, voltage, heating load, contact, and measurement method

  4. 04

    Connector, tail, stiffener, adhesive, housing, wiper, and assembly-pressure interfaces

  5. 05

    Flex duty, temperature, humidity, chemicals, abrasion, lifetime, quantity, and inspection requirements

Applications we can review

  • Compact position and travel sensing
  • Flexible printed resistors and contact elements
  • Conformable interconnect and functional printed circuits
  • Thin assemblies with integrated adhesive, tail, or stiffener features

Suitability and performance are confirmed from the complete assembly and validation conditions, not the application name alone.
