Sheldahl is the leader in
providing low cost, reel-to-reel flexible printed circuit fabrication. Our flexible
circuits are lighter, smaller, more reliable and easier to install than traditional
wiring. They can be bent, folded, or shaped to interconnect in multiple planes or conform
to specific package sizes. Circuits can be designed in configurations from
simple, single-sided conductive paths to complex three-dimensional assemblies. Our
flexible circuits offer particular performance advantages when utilized in a variety of
electronic assemblies requiring compact packaging or in dynamic flexing applications.
Sheldahl vertical integration and design expertise begins
with raw material fabrication, extends through circuit manufacturing, and ends with
value-added assembly. Sheldahl's flexible circuit product
