Flexible Printed Circuits with Integral Molded Connectors. Automated Facilities Report,

Abstract

Three new processes used in termination of Flexible Printed Wiring (FPW) to connectors were developed on this program. They are laser ablation (removal) of insulation by CO2 Laser, laser welding by Nd:YAG Laser, and liquid injection molding of small parts. The integration of these processes into a fully automated facility capable of one assembly per minute production was then projected (Automated Facility Report). (Author)
