Improved insulating layer for extreme conditions
Improved insulating layer for extreme conditions
The high-temperature resistant Flexible Printed Circuit YFLEX impresses with its
improved insulating layer, which has increased adhesion thanks to the use of a
special cover layer. Even under extreme temperatures of up to 150 °C, it retains its
electrical properties for over 3,000 hours.
The continuity resistance remains within
a rate of change of ±10 percent and the insulation resistance is 500 MΩ or higher. This
outstanding resistance ensures the reliable performance of the FPC even in the most
adverse environments.
Flexibility for a wide range of applications
The printed circuit board is extremely versatile and can be produced in
both single-layer and double-layer configurations. The insulation substrate base can
be selected from liquid crystal polymer (LCP) or polyimide (PI) in order to optimally
adapt to different applications.
In addition, it has a reinforced GND design that is
suitable not only for high-heat-resistant but also for noise-resistant FPC applications.
About the High-Speed FPC YFLEX and other Types
YFLEX is a special High Speed FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) which is able to transmit up
to 112 Gbps with differential Impedance of 100 Ohm.
This high performance is given by different features, like LCP as base material, the contacting of different layers done by silver bumps and the special production process.
This makes the YFLEX to the best partner for our High-Speed Connector series like HF513, HF509, HF601
and HF507. Each YFLEX will be designed based on the customer’s specific requirements, so that
all parameters like pinning, number of layers and routing can be done individually.
