6 Layers Flex PCB for Wearable OEM Customer

Company Location: Europe

Application: Mobile communications

Field: Communication Equipment

Service: HDI PCB Manufacturing

JS worked with the customer and their EMS supplier to suggest an improved panel array that allowed for over a 30% material savings by fitting more parts per panel.  We further requested that the customer allow FCT to quote the assembly as FCT offers superior expertise in assembly on flex that allows us to provide outstanding savings to our customers.  Once assembly pricing was provided, the customer saw the savings and then wanted to see what additional value-added services we could provide.  Today, beyond SMT assembly FCT further supports customers with product module builds to complete product box builds.  In the end, the customer found that JS could TAKE ON MORE… as we now do the circuit fabrication, assembly, and further perform additional value-added functions including battery attachment, gluing, firmware installation, assembly testing including electrical and functional testing, conformal coating and over molding.

JS has provided this customer with outstanding service and support and further with a product that is providing outstanding performance in an extremely challenging application.  This product is presently being rolled out to professional sports franchises and the customer along with FCT are very excited about the prospects for growth.

The customer has really enjoyed JS responsiveness, knowledge and overall performance.  Nothing better than a satisfied customer!
