Multi-layer LCP productExamples of solving issues by using Multi-layer LCP products

We take a look here at examples of solving issues by using Multi-layer LCP products.

Consolidating complex wiring into a single flexible cable to achieve a simple structure

Wiring inside devices is becoming more complex every year. To achieve higher functionality in a limited space, wiring technology that combines flexibility and reliability is essential. For example, in laptops, replacing conventionally complex internal wiring with a simpler and more efficient structure reduces the burden on design and manufacturing.
Multi-layer LCP products can be bent even in highly multi-layered structures. Therefore, they can be flexibly accommodated even in tight spaces. This can significantly increase the degree of freedom in housing design. The products have excellent shape retention and no spring back. Therefore, they deliver stable performance even in the assembly process and environments with vibrations.

Key points

  • Consolidates complex wiring into a single flexible cable to achieve a simple structure
  • Can be bent even in highly multi-layered structures
  • Has excellent shape retention and no spring back

Significantly improving workability when embedding substrates with pre-bending

Do you feel it is a challenge to embed substrates in tight spaces in housing?
In the example of UWB antennas adopted in remote controls, we are delivering Multi-layer LCP products in a pre-bent state to address concerns about the difficulty of embedding them in a tight space. Custom pre-bending is applied specifically for each customer’s product enabling one-touch installation.
In addition, it is possible to minimize variations in the antennas thanks to the Multi-layer LCP products’ excellent moisture absorption resistance. Furthermore, it is possible to achieve thinner products thanks to the Multi-layer LCP products’ unique lamination technology. This is a feature that has been well-received by customers.

Key points

  • Thin UWB antenna that uses our unique lamination technology
  • Easy delivery and embedding after pre-bending
  • Excellent moisture absorption resistance minimizes variations in the antennas

Preventing connectors from coming loose even in confined housing with excellent shape retention

Have you ever had trouble with connectors coming loose when placing them in the confined housing of a smartphone, or when mating them over differences in level?
It is possible to embed Multi-layer LCP products even in confined spaces in housing because they can be bent freely. Moreover, the product has excellent shape retention, so there is no worry about spring back. Accordingly, it solves the issue of B2B connectors coming loose after being embedded.
