One of the reasons that flex circuits and connectors have become an important part of the connector world is their unique ability to fill the role of problem solver. Flex circuits can be used to bridge the gap between two boards that may not be positioned in a way that allows connection with a traditional two piece coplanar or mezzanine interconnect solution. Flex cables can be used to transmit signal as well as small amounts of power from one board to another. Another popular use for flex circuitry is an interconnect for backlighting applications. Perhaps, the most common use of a flex connection is to terminate an LCD or other display to a printed circuit board.
