White Flex Circuitry

Features

• Replacement for a Circuit Board and Wires (quality assembly, lower costs).

• Reduce weight and space (form factor as low as 0.005″).

• Flex! It can bend where needed in design.

• White Flex cut costs in half from traditional Kapton Flex

• ROHS Compliant Assemblies
