Hybrid hardboard/flex circuits can have up to sixteen layers. They replace bulky wire harnesses with compact, robust design. Minco can braze or solder pins to circuits, either through holes or as extensions to conductors. 0.002" conductors and spaces are possible. Stiff e n e r s Conn e ctor s Shi el din g
An inexpensive alternative to rigid-flex. Built-in connectors speed your assembly.Optional epoxy potting seals between the circuit and connector. Solid or patterned shield planes reducenoise and control impedance of signallines. Use matched impedance flex circuits for high-speed signal integrity.

Stiffener material frames the circuit tohold it flat during wave solder. After soldering, just clip out and install. Factory formed circuits follow tight curves to save space. Minco’s unique flat wound inductive coilscan be laminated into flex circuits. Applications include pacemaker antennas and eddy current generators.

Combine the space and weight savingsof surface mounting with those of flex circuits for the ultimate in high-density packaging. For better flexibility along circuit arms,individual layers are unbonded and allowed to flex freely. Each layer has it’s own substrate and cover. Minco integrates industrial temperature sensors andetched-foil heaters with flex circuits for unified temperature control. 5
