High heat flex circuits

11 October 2017 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Cirexx is offering a line of flexible circuit products that employ the recently developed DuPont Pyralux high temperature HT material. The HT material is designed to operate at temperatures of up to 225°C, making the flex circuit ideal for high heat environments such as aerospace, oil and gas exploration, automotive and medical applications.

Cirexx engineers worked closely with DuPont engineers in the development of the HT materials. Several trial runs of specifically designed experiments were established to observe, learn and apply the limits and capabilities of this new material. The material requires some special processing – lamination presses capable of reaching and holding temperatures of 600°C – and must be engineered for stability uniquely for each application.

The Cirexx high heat flexible circuits are available in all of the common constructions – single-sided, double-sided, multi-layered and rigid-flex. They allow the user to enjoy the traditional benefits of a flex circuit – lightweight, smaller, point-to-point customer wiring and miniaturisation – while operating in a high heat environment.
