Flat conductors have a much greater surface to volume ratio than round wire. This extra surface area facilitates the dissipation of heat away from the circuit: heat is easily dissipated from both sides of the flexible circuits, the thin polyimide dielectric permitting a relatively easy thermal path. In rigid boards the dielectric substrate is a thermal insulator inhibiting the flow of heat, and this can be a reason to substitute using flex.
Company Details
Our company was incorporated in 1980. It was founded by three senior ex -IBM technical employees. The flexible circuits plant which consists of two factories covering 24,000 sq. feet was the first in Europe to be designed and built solely for... more
