Current IssueVoices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

All Flex Launches Analytical Service for Flexible Circuitry
August 25, 2017 | PRWEBEstimated reading time: 1 minute
All Flex, a manufacturer of flexible printed circuit boards and flexible heaters, has introduced a diagnostic service for users of flexible circuitry. This independent failure analysis service assists OEMs and engineers in identifying the source of failures of flexible circuitry, typically occurring when there are violations of standard design practices and application-based design recommendations.
The company’s new offering is open to any firm sourcing flexible circuits from all types of flex PCB manufacturers, both domestic and off-shore. All Flex’s extensive experience in bare board design, customized flex PCB design, and component attachment on flexible circuitry has enabled the company to accumulate the confidence and knowledge to assist companies in the proper use and design of flexible circuitry regardless who manufactures the flex.
“Diagnosing a particular premature failure source of a flexible circuit can be elusive and often requires sophisticated engineering analysis and techniques,” said Dave Becker, VP of Sales and Marketing. “We routinely see customers who have experienced troubles with flexible circuitry because their product was originally designed without applying design principles suited for their application. We want OEMs to be comfortable using flexible circuits in their package designs and we can help them avoid pitfalls.”
Ideal for companies unsure of the why their flexible circuit may be experiencing reliability issues, the company has developed a formal approach utilizing sophisticated laboratory analysis technologies and problem solving methodology. Customers receive a scientific written report with an engineering analysis, high magnification photography evidence, supplemental technical data supporting the assessment, and the precise identification of the root cause. The report includes recommendations for design improvements to address the problem but also other recommendations that could impact reliability in the future.
This new offering by All Flex compliments the company’s overall commitment to providing design and delivery services of high quality and reliable flexible circuitry to customers around the globe.
