AS9100D Certified

Aerospace Grade Flexible PCB Solutions

AS9100D certified manufacturing for the most demanding aerospace and defense applications. From commercial aircraft to deep space missions, we deliver flex circuits built for extreme reliability.

Aerospace Flex PCB

Aerospace applications represent the ultimate test of electronic reliability. Whether operating in the extreme cold of space, the heat and vibration of jet engines, or the electromagnetic interference of radar systems, aerospace flex PCBs must deliver perfect performance every time.

Our AS9100D certified quality system and NADCAP accredited processes ensure every flexible circuit meets the exacting standards of aerospace prime contractors and defense agencies. With NASA low-outgassing certified materials and radiation-tolerant options, we support applications from commercial aircraft to interplanetary missions.

Weight is always a critical factor in aerospace design. Our flexible circuits can reduce interconnect weight by up to 70% compared to rigid board assemblies, directly impacting fuel efficiency, payload capacity, and mission success.
