Nortech has patented it Flex Faraday Xtreme (FFX), a flexible printed circuit for transmitting high frequency signals while controlling both crosstalk and impedance. FFX also minimizes electromagnetic interference and improves parallel transmission alignment.

“Nortech’s commitment to innovative technologies is key to supporting our strategic medical, industrial, and defense customers,” said Jay D. Miller, CEO and president. “In highly complex and compact devices, the FFX is designed to provide the signal integrity necessary to support sensitive, mission-critical applications.”

“With our patent of the Flex Faraday Xtreme, Nortech provides intelligent transmission lines that provide benefits over traditional micro coax cables in challenging applications,” said Steve Czeck, senior director of engineering. “FFX technology will be applied to meet customer requirements for size or weight constraints, or where harsh conditions exist.”

FFX is based on the work of Michael Faraday in the 1830s that contributed to the current understanding of shielding effects of what is now called a Faraday cage. U.S. patent number 11,412,608 for FFX is the company’s first patent in its technology portfolio.

FFX adoption will ramp up through 2023. A datasheet was not available at the time of this announcement.
