Printed Electronics Market is one of the fastest growing markets that follow the global trend of miniaturization. It concerns different industries as various as consumer goods, robotics, medical, lighting, wearable technologies and many others.
Today companies face a challenge to find solutions to reduce weight, space and costs of their components to create innovative electronic devices. In low frequency signal transfers, wire to board and wire to wire connections are usually used. But how can they ensure a good assembly solution?
Some electronic components companies have discrete wire to flat connection solutions that suit the current demand. The main advantage of this kind of solution are the weight saving and security of connection features.
