All Flex Solutions Expands Rigid Flex Quick Turn Offering
March 4, 2024 | All Flex SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
All Flex’s Rigid Flex Center of Excellence has recently expanded expedited services for their rigid flex customers.
Recent capital improvements in All Flex Solutions’ rigid flex manufacturing facility are helping to accelerate production lead times on rigid flex designs. All Flex Solutions recently installed and qualified an innerlayer factory allowing them to issue materials to the floor and complete innerlayers in hours instead of days. The reduced cycle time gets product into lamination faster to complete the remainder of the manufacturing cycle.
Matt Tannehill, President of the Rigid Flex Center of Excellence commented “we’ve always been capable of building very high quality, very high reliability rigid flex circuit boards. A couple of months ago we defined a set of criteria, that would allow us to support faster turn cycles for our partners. We know that if we help our customers prototype and de-bug their parts at the beginning, we’ll likely have a partner when it comes to production volumes. This service will help us serve our customers better and collaborate with them on their initial designs.”
The quick turn service is based on capacity loading and material availability but offers designers of rigid flex printed circuits expedited services – typically two to four weeks after approval of artwork.

Flexible Thinking: Rules of Thumb: A Word to the Wise
11/20/2024 | Joe Fjelstad -- Column: Flexible ThinkingIn the early days of electronics manufacturing—especially with PCBs—there were no rules. Engineers, scientists, and technicians largely felt their way around in the dark, making things up as they went along. There was a great deal of innovation, guessing, and testing to make sure that early guidelines and estimates were correct by testing them. Still, they frequently made mistakes.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
11/15/2024 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007We have quite a mix in this week’s must-reads. The November issue of Design007 Magazine was published, and you don’t want to miss Andy Shaughnessy’s column. This week, we also have a discussion of long-flex PCBs with CEE PCB’s Jerome Larez, and we revisit my forward-looking interview with Dr. Evelyne Parmentier of Dyconex. Jim Will gives us an update on the many things that have transpired in his first five months as executive director at USPAE. Finally, Happy Holden’s next installment of Happy’s Tech Talk looks into the weaknesses of CAD drawings by using a famous Escher print as an example. Happy is definitely one of a kind.

Global PCB Connections: A Technical Overview of Long-flex Printed Circuit Boards
11/14/2024 | Jerome Larez -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsFlex printed circuit boards are an essential advancement in the electronics industry, enabling the development of flexible, lightweight, and durable electronic designs. As technology has evolved, long-flex PCBs have emerged as a key component in applications requiring extended or intricate routing paths. Because of their use in automotive, commercial, and medical devices, designers are becoming more comfortable designing PCBs with this technology. This column will explore their attributes and role in modern products. I will also offer some essential tips for designing with manufacturability in mind.
