New Molex High-Speed Low-Loss Flex Circuit Assemblies Deploy DuPont™ Pyralux® TK Flexible Circuit Material

Molex Incorporated today introduced its new High-Speed Low-Loss Flex Circuit Assemblies, made using DuPont™ Pyralux® TK flexible circuit material. The assemblies are ideal for electronic data transmission applications such as servers and high-end computing, storage servers and signal processing.

"Routing signals within densely packaged datacom, telecommunications, aerospace and defense equipment can be challenging," said Greg Kuchuris, marketing manager, Molex (News - Alert). "As surging data transmission demands push system speeds higher, advanced materials become more critical. Our High-Speed Low-Loss Flex Circuit Assemblies utilize leading-edge technologies from DuPont Circuit & Packaging Materials and Molex to bring customers a unique high-performance solution, with superior signal integrity in digital and high frequency flexible circuit applications."

Molex is one of the first manufacturers to incorporate DuPont™ Pyralux® TK flexible circuit material into the volume production of multi-layer flexible circuit constructions. Pyralux® TK is a double-sided flexible copper clad laminate and bonding film system formulated with DuPont™ Teflon® fluoropolymer film and DuPont™ Kapton® polyimide film. It provides exceptional electrical performance for high speed digital and high frequency flexible circuit applications.

The dielectric constant and low-loss capabilities of Pyralux® TK deliver a mechanically flexible construction, tighter bend radii and faster transmission than standard flexible assemblies.

"Molex and DuPont have collaborated closely to integrate Pyralux® TK into the volume production of the new Molex High-Speed Low-Loss Flexible Circuit Assemblies, with exceptional results," said Prasanna Srinivasan, market development leader, DuPont Circuit & Packaging Materials. "Signal loss can be minimized, which allos increased speeds and design flexibility."

Molex High-Speed Low-Loss Flex Circuit Assemblies are available with self-coiling or mechanically-assisted coiling, offering options for flexible three dimensional packaging, minimizing insertion loss and providing improved airflow compared to a standard PCB design.
