Basics of Flex Circuit Design White Paper

Learn if flex circuits might be your best solution.

Minneapolis, Minn., September 28, 2009-Minco, a designer and manufacturer of critical components for critical applications, is offering a free downloadable white paper titled Basics of Flex Circuit Design. If you are a design engineer who is wants to learn more about the repeatable wire routing, fast assembly and space and weight reductions that flex circuits offer over wiring harnesses, this white paper is for you.

This paper will introduce you to the reasons to consider flex circuits. They are light, compact, robust, and resilient, and ideal for today's smaller and more portable electronics. They are ideal for new product designs, but can be used to replace not only traditional wire harnesses, but circuit boards as well. This paper shows designers the unique requirements of these circuits and their materials.

A 30-page Flex Circuits Design Guide can ordered in print from Minco's website or downloaded. The guide explains the benefits of flex circuits, the design process and optimum design options. You'll learn how flex circuits work, how to build a flex circuit mock-up and how to obtain a mechanical sample based on your mock-up. In addition to the Guide, a Prototype Flex Circuit Design Kit is also available.

If you need technical assistance, help with specifications, operating conditions, or application data; a Minco engineer is just a click away in the Minco Engineer2Engineer Community. You can also phone 763-571-3121 for more information.
