Flexible PCB Application Drives and Benefits

There are a great many reasons for using flexible PCB to make the interconnections in an electronic package. In some cases, such as dynamic flexible PCB applications, the choice to use flexible circuits is an obvious one, driven strictly by the lack of any viable alternatives. However, there are many more subtle areas of opportunity to employ flexible circuits, and this has proven to be the real measure of their success.
