Founded in 1989, Trackwise specialising in large format PCBs (printed circuit boards) and, since 2010, has developed a patented proprietary and innovative manufacturing process – called Improved Harness Technology (IHT) – which enables the company to produce flexible multilayer printed circuits of unlimited length.
IHT FPCs deliver space and weight savings (up to 75%), as well as increased reliability and repeatability, plus reduced assembly time. IHT FPCs can withstand the harsh environments found in automotive, aerospace and industrial applications, but can also be made small enough to replace microwires in medical applications such as catheters.
“The diversity and ingenuity of applications using our IHT FPCs to drive product innovation is astonishing,” noted Philip Johnston, CEO at Trackwise. “Resourceful design engineers have been quick to recognise the significant advantages of IHT FPCs. It’s inspiring to see their visions for future products being realised as they replace conventional bulky wiring harnesses and interconnections with our lightweight, smaller and more reliable flexible printed circuit alternatives to solve their design challenges and deliver reduced assembly time and cost.”
