Profile: Parlex USA, Inc. provides design, prototyping, value added assembly & custom manufacturing for flexible circuits and flat flexible cabling. Polymer thick film (PTF) flexible circuits are manufactured by screen-printing conductive inks onto flexible substrates such as PET. We can produce multilayer circuits by further screen-printing dielectric materials as an insulating layer. Our proprietary through-hole technologies also permit the use of double sided printing to further optimize space and assembly cost. ALC (Auto Line Cable) enables users to directly lap solder a laminated flat flexible cable to a PCB with manual or hot bar soldering techniques. The cable comes with pushpins or registration holes that are registered to the conductors so that they will automatically align themselves over the pads on the PCB when the cable is snapped onto the board or alignment pins. The laminated layer of polyester when used with the pushpins, will provides strain relief that will withstand several pounds of pressure without damaging the lap solder joints. We are an ISO 9001:2000 certified company. The brands we offer include SMART TAPE™, AUTONET™, HSI+™, PALCON™, PALCOAT™, U-FLEX™, PALCORE™, PALFLEX™, POLY-SOLDER™, FLEXILAYERS™, PALSTRIP™ and POLYFLEX™.
