Overview
Wearable technology demands extremely fine-pitch, flexible cabling that fits within compact wrist and body-worn form factors while surviving daily flexing and moisture exposure.
Design & Construction
Ultra-Fine-Pitch Flex Circuits
Ultra-fine-pitch FPC and micro-coax assemblies fit within compact smartwatch and wearable enclosures while maintaining reliable signal transmission.
Sweat and Moisture-Resistant Sealing
Moisture-sealed connections protect wearable electronics from sweat and daily washing exposure, supporting IP-rated wearable device designs.
Manufacturing Process
Built under ISO 9001 process controls with 100% continuity testing and RoHS 3 compliance, supporting wearable technology OEMs from prototype through high-volume consumer production.
Typical Applications
- Smartwatch board-to-board cabling
- Fitness tracker sensor wiring
- Wearable battery interconnects
- Heart rate and biometric sensor cabling
- Wireless charging coil connections
Common installations include Smartwatch board-to-board cabling, Fitness tracker sensor wiring, and Wearable battery interconnects, where signal integrity, EMI control, and compact flex-rated construction are the primary design drivers. The same base design can also be adapted for Heart rate and biometric sensor cabling and Wireless charging coil connections with minor changes to connector type or cable length.
