We prefer files in the Gerber RS-274X format.

For assembly, we need at a minimum:

  • Silkscreen
  • Copper layers
  • Solder paste layers
  • Preferably you should send us all Gerber files generated by your CAD program.

Trusted by Industry Leaders

Engineers at the world’s industry leading companies choose AUSPI for the highest quality PCB design support services, in multiple countries..

Testimonials

We are capable of manufacturing various types of FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit Board/Flexible PCB) with different specifications.

Our flexible PCBs can have a thickness ranging from 0.07 to 7mm, a layer count ranging from 1 to 30 layers, and copper thickness ranging from 0.25 to 4oz, among other features.

If you have custom design requirements, we can also tailor our production process to meet your needs.

Assembly Options

We can manage all types of PCB assembly jobs including surface mount (SMT), thru-hole (THT) and a hybrid of both. We also offer single or double-sided placement.

At no additional cost we are happy to deliver first article samples of 1-5 pieces for customer approval before building the rest.

Our high-speed equipment takes 2-6 hours to set up for a new job, and 1-3 hours to re-set up for repeat orders. If manual placement will take less time than high-speed machine placement then we may opt to take that route. The quality is the same but the cost is much less and we pass those savings to our customers.

Power On Testing & Programming

We are capable of program ingproduction boards and designing test fixtures to ensures high quality and performance right out of the factory.

Rigorous Quality Assurance

Our pledge is to deliver superior quality flexible PCBs that not only meet but exceed your expectations. Through stringent quality control measures, we ensure every product undergoes exhaustive reliability and performance evaluations. Our adherence to ISO9001 and ISO14001 certifications guarantees our manufacturing processes adhere to the utmost quality and environmental standards.

FAQs

Flexible FPC vs. Rigid-Flex PCBs Comparison

The primary advantage of flexible materials lies in their low weight, superior insulation capabilities, and resilience under extreme temperatures. Their capacity to bend distinguishes them significantly from rigid PCBs.

On the other hand, the simpler production process and substantially lower cost of materials make rigid PCBs a preferred choice for many.

The flexibility to bend is a pivotal factor in choosing flexible materials for PCB design, accommodating both static bent installations and dynamic flexing applications. Their light weight and exceptional potential for miniaturization are also key considerations.

 

 

 

Flexible circuit boards are designed to endure temperatures ranging from -200°C to 400°C, making them ideal for applications such as borehole measurements in the oil and gas sector.

This high temperature tolerance is often paired with excellent chemical resistance and robust resistance to radiation and ultraviolet light. The capacity for impedance control in high-density designs further enhances the appeal of flexible circuits for manufacturers.

The production of rigid-flex PCBs, whether for prototypes or mass production, is a well-established and reliable process. The flexibility of the flex portion excellently addresses challenges related to space and weight, offering unique spatial configuration options.

Early engagement with rigid-flex solutions and thorough exploration of options during the design phase of a rigid-flex PCB project can yield significant advantages. It’s critical for the fabricator to be involved from the outset to ensure seamless integration of the design and fabrication stages and to accommodate any variations in the final product.

The manufacturing process for rigid-flex PCBs is notably more intricate and time-consuming than that for rigid boards, with the flexible components requiring distinct handling, etching, and soldering techniques compared to traditional FR4 boards.
