Flexible Printed Wiring Boards-Production

TABフレキ基板

We can support from mass production to many kinds of small quantity production

Reel-to reel method can produce TAB and COF of the high productivity by automation including feed and winding and of high quality by the non contact method that completely minimizes human intervention. And,we can meet to a wide range of customer’s requests by producing with sheet size delivery.

TAB Flexible Board-Features and Structure

TAB is an abbreviation for Tape Automated Bonding, which is the name of an IC mounting method.

TAB：Tape Automated Bonding

A TAB flexible board

A TAB flexible board has a single-sided wiring structure. It bears connection holes, called contact holes, in the board that enable electrical connection from the back side.

Reel To Reel Method

We use the reel to reel method to manufacture various flexible printed wiring boards, offering services from prototype to mass production and mounting.

Features of Reel to Reel Method

  • The reel to reel method allows for mass production of flexible printed wiring boards.
  • All processing devices are installed in a clean room of class 1,000.
  • The cover lay method is used for surface protection of flexible printed wiring boards.
  • Electrolytic plating equipment for Ni (nickel) / Au (gold) are used, allowing us to provide products that meet the specification needs of customers.
  • An inner lead structure can be formed for connection contacts.

Our Approach to Quality and Environment

  • Quality assurance is conducted for all products by automatic visual inspection and electric inspection.
  • A variety of analytical equipment are used to perform a quality check at each process and to measure amount and length.
  • We provide flexible printed wiring boards with fire retardancy that meets RoHS compliance and 94 VTM-0.

Printed Wiring boards - Mounting

We use our proprietary transfer technology (the reel to reel method) to mount flexible printed wiring boards, or use sheets to mount printed wiring boards (rigid / flexible), depending on the needs.
