Custom Etched
Flex Circuits

Precision Flex circuits, or flexible circuits, are a slimmer, space-saving replacement for bulky wires or cables. Their pliable nature is ideal for crowded circuit boards and small electronics where space is limited. The main function of a flex circuit is to connect electronic devices together, which can translate into any industry or application. The polyimide insulation that surrounds the metal interior is able to withstand high temperatures and resists contamination. As an added bonus, the material also shields EMI noise to some extent.

Most flex shops shy away from jobs with special requirements, but at E-Fab we can do it all. We have the manufacturing abilities to etch thicker metals and diverse alloys using our photochemical etching process. Our capabilities are especially suited to build precision flex circuits, sculptured flex circuits, custom etched flex circuits and hybrid circuit packages. E-Fab actually makes the flex circuit, making customization possibilities endless.

Why Flex Circuits From E-Fab?

E-Fab delivers high-quality flex boards and provides support services for circuit board shops around the country. When it comes to making the hard to fabricate, or hard to etch materials, we rise to the challenge. E-Fab is the best at the more complex engineering designs and unique process requirements. We truly can do what no other flex circuit shop can do.

Precision Flex Circuits
  • With E-FAB’s experienced photochemical machining (PCM) capabilities, we have the technical expertise and engineering know-how to build precision flexible circuit boards.
Sculptured Flex Circuits
  • A sculptured flex circuit changes thickness throughout in order to allow for a variation in connection types. E-Fab can easily manufacture these custom sculpted flex in various metals, thicknesses, and with exposure point above the polyimide. Features such as buttons, raised pads, and stiffeners are among a long list of add-ons available.
High Power Application Flex Circuits
  • E-Fab can manufacture high power flex with .010 to .060 inches thick traces. Our engineering team, technical capabilities, and manufacturing processes make it possible to provide these larger thicknesses. These heavy metal flex circuits are used for high power, high current, and high voltage distribution.
Standard and Exotic Metal Flex Circuits
  • Our background is in photochemical machining (PCM), where we have the expertise to etch a variety of metals and alloys for a wide range of industries. E-Fab engineers are specialists in manufacturing aluminum, copper, and steel to name a few.
