 
Flexible Circuit Benefits
 Packaging and Miniaturization Solutions
- Flexible
circuit thinness and light weight will enable a substantial packaging
size reduction.
- Flexible
circuits allow unique designs which solve interconnection problems.
- Flexible
circuit’s ability to be folded or creased and positioned
into the smallest areas makes miniaturization of many devices possible.
Cost Reduction
- Thin and flexible polyimide film requires a much smaller area, reducing
the packaging size and overall material costs.
- Flex
circuits used as interconnects reduce the number of connections
to be soldered.
- Elimination
of connectors and solder joints reduce costs.
Replacement for wires and wire harness assemblies
- Flexible circuits are an efficient and cost saving method to eliminate
wires and wire harness assemblies.
- Flex circuit wiring simplifies designs.
- Flexible circuits used to replace wiring reduces the errors
common in hand wired assemblies.
High temperature applications
- Flex circuits dissipate heat at a better rate than other dielectric
materials.
- Flexible circuits are consistently reliable in high temperature environments.
- Expansion
and contraction are minimized when using polyimide circuitry.
Weight reduction
- Substantial weight reduction is a benefit over wires and wire harnesses.
- Polyimide films can be as thin as .004 inches in total.
Dynamic flexing
- The flexibility of polyimide film makes flex circuits the leading choice
for interconnecting movable components.
