Innovative Flex and Rigid Flex Circuits Start with Experience

From automobiles and phones to sophisticated military and avionics system and robots, flex circuits are integral to almost every product that we use. The demand for more compact, high performance products and a competitive market has brought flex circuit technology into sharp focus. Product quality, viability, performance and cost all depend on your flex circuit design.

While fulfilling customer needs is critical, success and profitability also depend on streamlining your product design and development process. In our experience, innovative flex and rigid flex circuit design has helped our manufacturing partners gain a competitive edge. With applications and materials continually being designed and developed, the latest technology promises to revolutionize many aspects of electronic circuit design. According to some case studies, it can potentially reduce the total cost of electrical interconnections by up to 70%. Partnering with the right PCB fabrication company makes all the difference.

At Power Design Services (PDS), we have spearheaded unique flex circuit designs to resolve interconnection problems, improved the appearance of and reduced the size of the electronic package and made installation practical and cost-effective. From selecting the best functional configuration, to choosing the proper connectors or components, we can help you fulfill all your application requirements in an economical way. Our cross-industry experience includes solutions for medical device manufacturing, aerospace, semiconductor testing and manufacturing equipment, telecommunications and industrial equipment manufacturers. Hundreds of product development engineers count on our flex circuit manufacturing services to support their product development efforts.

Power Design Services has been instrumental in the development of several ground-breaking products. Notable among these are:

• Freedom Innovations Bionic Knee: In 2005, PDS worked with Freedom Innovations to design and manufacture circuitry that would eventually power and control the revolutionary Plié® 2.0. We continue to supply the company with the main PCBA.
• Telemetry Solutions GPS Tracking System for Wildlife: Telemetry Solutions approached Power Design Services in 2009 with a manufacturing issue.  They could not find a reliable, local printed circuit assembly partner to meet their small volume, high mix technology and short lead time requirements.
• NASA Nano-Satellite Assembly: In 2013, PDS helped build a unique PCB assembly for NASA Ames Research Center. No bigger than a Rubik’s cube, these nanosatellites are easier and less expensive to manufacture and launch than previous models.
• Hiku shopping app: PDS helped develop the innovative Hiku app that scans barcodes, recognizes your voice and creates a shared shopping list on your phone. The success of our initial Beta units resulted in Hiku contracting our services again to build the pre-production volume. Our quick turnaround time, local manufacturing site and full turnkey service helped establish a long-term relationship with the company.
• Halo headset: We are proud to have been a part of Halo’s unique and powerful brain-zapping headset that featured in the Rio Olympics. PDS made the quick turn prototype runs for Halo in only 3 days. This is just one more example of how we can help manufacturers bring their product to market faster and with the least chances of rework.
