Flexible Circuit Solutions
Single-Sided
Streamlined flex interconnects for space-constrained electronic designs.
Best for:
Simple routing, sensors, controls, and compact interconnects.
Design focus:
Bend radius, conductor routing, stiffeners, and connector termination.
Double-Sided
More routing capability in a thin, flexible circuit construction.
Best for:
Designs requiring greater circuit density without moving to multilayer.
Design focus:
Via placement, layer registration, impedance, and flex-area reliability.
Multilayer
Higher circuit density for complex interconnect and packaging requirements.
Best for:
High-density electronics, complex signal routing, and space-limited assemblies.
Design focus:
Stack-up, controlled impedance, shielding, thermal management, and bend zones.
Rigid-Flex
Combines rigid PCB sections and flexible interconnects in one integrated design.
Best for:
Assemblies where multiple boards, connectors, or cable interfaces can be consolidated.
Design focus:
Rigid-to-flex transitions, layer construction, component placement, and mechanical reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials do you use for FPCs?
Material selection depends on electrical, mechanical, environmental and assembly requirements. Printec can review the intended application during DFM.
Do you offer rigid-flex PCB manufacturing?
Yes. Printec supports rigid-flex constructions that combine rigid PCB areas and flexible interconnect zones.
What is your minimum line/space capability?
Printec publishes a fine-line capability down to 2 mil / 2 mil, subject to design review and manufacturing requirements.
What file formats do you accept?
Gerber/CAM data and supporting drawings are typically used to evaluate a flexible circuit program. Include stack-up, dimensional and assembly requirements when available.
How many layers can your flexible PCBs have?
Printec supports multilayer flexible circuit constructions up to 8 layers, depending on the application and design.
Can you support assembly after FPC fabrication?
Yes. Printec can support SMT population, FPC-to-PCB integration and value-added HMI or electronic assembly.
