Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and Flexible Circuit Technology with aluminum instead of copper reducing costs and weight for application in lighting, automotive electronics, energy storage, industrial automation etc.
An Austrian SME offers a new class of printed circuit board and flexible printed circuit (FPC) technology based on aluminum conductors. Replacing copper with aluminum enables significant cost reduction (up to 25% less raw material costs), lightweight design (up to 30% mass reduction) and lower environmental impact. It is compatible with conventional assembly processes and is being expanded towards multilayer applications. Partners from the electronic value chain sought for various cooperations.
