Component carrier replaces flexible pcbs

HARTING Standardized component carrier solution, based on 3D-MID technology, is capable of replacing flexible circuit boards. Electronic components can be fitted directly onto the component carrier, which serves as a connecting element between the printed circuit board (pcb) and electronic components such as LEDs, ICs, photodiodes and sensors. Electronic components are mounted directly on the new component carrier in automated processes. The smaller design of the component carrier is suitable for components of size SOT23 and smaller – with its dimensions of approximately 5x4x3mm.
