What we make

Flex Circuits, Engineered to Your Needs.

From simple single-layer interconnects to multi-layer flex with controlled impedance, CircuFlex covers the full range of flexible circuit manufacturing — with in-house process engineering that works to your stack-up, or helps define one if you're early in design.

  • Single-sided, double-sided, multi-layer, and rigid-flex constructions
  • Polyimide (PI), polyester (PET), and LCP base substrates
  • Coverlay (PI / photoimageable), solder mask, and stiffener integration
  • ENIG, immersion silver, OSP, ENEPIG surface finishes
  • SMT-ready panels with fiducials, tooling holes, and breakaway tabs
  • Functional electrical test, AOI inspection, and impedance verification
  • End-to-end assembly: SMT, through-hole, and flex-rigid integration
FPC construction types

The Right Flex for the Right Job.

Six FPC constructions covering everything from simple sensor interconnects to complex high-density rigid-flex assemblies. Send us your stack-up — or tell us your application and we'll recommend one.

Coverlay Cu trace PI base Type 01

Single-Sided FPC

One conductive copper layer on a polyimide base. Ideal for simple interconnects, sensor lines, and cost-sensitive applications.

PI / Cu / Coverlay
PTH Type 02

Double-Sided FPC

Two conductive layers with plated through-holes. Higher routing density for compact electronics and signal-integrity applications.

Coverlay / Cu / PI / Cu / Coverlay
L1 / L2 / L3 / L4 + stacked vias Type 03

Multi-Layer FPC

3+ conductive layers laminated with bond-ply. For complex routing, controlled impedance, and shielded high-speed signal paths.

3 to 8+ Cu layers
FR-4 FLEX FR-4 Cu continuous across all sections Type 04

Rigid-Flex

Combination of rigid PCB sections joined by flex circuit. Eliminates connectors, reduces failure points, and shrinks 3D enclosures.

FR-4 + PI hybrid laminate
PI Variable Cu thicknesses for different functions Type 05

Adhesiveless FPC

High-density construction without adhesive layer between Cu and PI. Better thermal performance, finer line/space, and improved flex life.

Sputtered Cu on PI (no adhesive)
Laser microvias · ultra-fine L/S Type 06

HDI Flex

High-Density Interconnect with microvias and ultra-fine line/space. For miniaturised, high-pin-count applications like wearables and medical devices.

Laser microvias · 50/50 µm L/S
End-to-end manufacturing flow

Proof of Concept to First Article — in Five Steps.

An integrated process that runs from DFM review through assembly, with quality gates at each handoff.

01

Align

DFM review on Gerbers, drill files, stack-up — flagged constraints returned within one working day.

02

Build

In-house tooling, lamination, etching, and coverlay application to your validated stack-up.

03

Validate

Inline AOI, flying probe and fixture electrical test, optional 100% impedance verification.

04

Assemble

SMT, through-hole, and flex-rigid integration when assembled FPC modules are required.

05

Scale

Production ramp from prototype through high-volume series, with material certs and traceability.
