Expand your designs with flexible PCBs and rigid-flex PCBs.

Flex your design potential with Sierra Circuits

Embark on a journey of innovation and cutting-edge solutions with Sierra Circuits, your premier partner for manufacturing flex and rigid-flex PCBs right here in the United States. Experience the design flexibility that flexible PCBs offer, allowing seamless integration around edges and folds to revolutionize your product architecture. Enjoy the benefits of reduced space and weight, as the lightweight polyimide material surpasses traditional FR4, and flexible flat cables (FCC) streamline spatial requirements.

Sierra Circuits leads the industry in quality and turnaround times.

• Freedom of design
  The elastic nature of flexible PCBs allows for placement around edges and folds.
• Reduced space and weight
  Flex circuit’s polyimide material is lighter than FR4. The use of flexible flat cables (FCC) take up less space than traditional wires.
• Increased reliability and durability
  Flex circuits can be significantly warped/deformed without breakage. Standard materials can withstand as many as 200,000 bending cycles.
• Improved heat dissipation and airflow
  Polyimide flex materials are suited for very high temperatures compared to FR4.
• Use in harsh environment
  Flex circuits can be built with materials that are suitable to use in harsh operating environments (materials that have the following properties: waterproof, moisture proof, shock proof, high temperature oil, corrosion resistant).

We build reliable and durable flex PCBs.

Our dedication to excellence extends to enhanced reliability and durability. Flex circuits withstand significant warping and deformation, enduring up to 200,000 bending cycles with standard materials. Capitalize on improved heat dissipation and airflow using polyimide flex materials, tailored for high-temperature environments beyond the reach of FR4.

Sierra Circuits supports flex circuits in harsh operating conditions, offering materials with waterproof, moisture-proof, shock-proof, high-temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance properties. As you delve into the world of flexible PCBs, trust our seasoned engineers to guide you through efficient design and manufacturing processes for flex, rigid-flex, and HDI-flex PCBs—all crafted within the U.S. Experience unparalleled quality, innovation, and localized manufacturing with Sierra Circuits.

Sierra Circuits supports IPC-2581.

IPC-2581 serves as a critical standard in the exchange of data for the manufacturing of flexible PCBs. As an open, vendor-neutral XML format, it plays a pivotal role in navigating the intricate structures of flex PCBs, facilitating smooth exchanges of design data encompassing layer stack-up, drill details, and other specifications. Upholding IPC-2581 ensures transparent communication between designers and manufacturers, minimizing the risk of errors during data transfer. This standardized approach fosters improved collaboration, streamlines workflows, and significantly contributes to the efficient and precise production of intricate flex and rigid-flex boards, emphasizing precision and reliability throughout the manufacturing process.
