GTS is continuing to emphasise the advantages of using flexible circuits as a replacement for car wiring systems. The use of a suitable adhesive system and choice of films makes flexible circuits able to be used even in areas of high humidity such as the doors. Products such as GTS5670, PEN based laminates have been tested and approved to 3000 hours at 85C and 95% RH.
The advantages for the OEM's lie in the weight and space savings of flexible circuitry compared to round wire bundles, and are a good example of future Environmental Benefits.
