Flex Circuits with Value Added Design Options

Minco has decades of experience designing and manufacturing complete flex circuit solutions that make interconnection efficient and affordable. Our value added design options might be exactly what’s needed to make your circuit into a turnkey assembly.

Connectors - Connectors can make installation into your application much easier. They can be attached to flex circuits by hand soldering, wave soldering, crimping, or simple insertion with zero insertion force (ZIF) models. Learn more about flex circuit connectors.

Fingers - Fingers can be supported or unsupported. Supported fingers are ideal for ZIF connectors mounted on rigid boards. Unsupported fingers can be hot bar soldered to hard circuit boards. Learn more about fingers.

Pins - Pins can be inserted separately or ganged in a header. Minco recommends using an FR-4 or polyimide stiffener in pin areas to improve mechanical strength and simplify assembly. Learn more about pins.

Stiffeners – Stiffeners can be used in flex circuitry to rigidize pin areas, force a bend line, reinforce solder joints, and enhance much more. Learn how stiffeners can be used to improve your flex circuit application. 

Forming – There are many design considerations that go into forming a flex circuit because of the stress caused by the forming. Minco’s engineers are available to help you achieve that perfect form, fit and function. Learn more about designing circuits that are formed.

Electronics Population – Do you need bare circuits, palletized and unpopulated circuits, partially populated circuits or fully populated circuits? Minco can help. Learn more about electronics population and other hardware integration.

Custom & Integrated Components - Minco operates four different product divisions, all coordinated in the same facility for faster, seamless integration that can boost your time-to-market. This makes us unique in our ability to customize and integrate components into turnkey assemblies and complete thermal, sensing and flex circuitry solutions. All of our components can be designed, manufactured, and integrated to perfectly fit your application while providing matched system accuracy. Learn about custom and integrated component options.
