Designing a PCB for a Tight, Compact, or Flexible Application?

When space is limited, a flexible PCB can give your design the freedom it needs.

Twisted Traces manufactures flexible circuit boards for engineers and OEM design teams working on wearables, medical devices, automotive electronics, industrial equipment, and other space-constrained applications.

• Single-layer, double-sided & multilayer flex PCBs
• Rigid-flex PCB solutions
• Up to 12 layers standard
• Fine features down to 4/4 mil, depending on design requirements
• USA-based manufacturing with quick-turn options

From prototype requirements to production volumes, our team can support your flexible PCB manufacturing needs.
