Elmec Manufacturing

In 1991 Elmec bought the rights and the manufacturing equipment for a flexible jumper product line originally developed by the Fortin Laminating division of Westinghouse. Flex jumpers are proving to be an extremely well accepted product with packaging engineers and manufacturing engineers alike. They are a cost effective alternative to custom flex circuits with none of the artwork or tooling requirements and nearly off the shelf delivery of one to three weeks. Flexible jumpers are an excellent interconnection for board-to-board, board-to-display, board-to-connector, board-to-sensor, or any application requiring flexibility. Flex jumpers can be manufactured on any pitch with flat, round, or stranded conductors for surface mount or through-hole applications. In 1993 Elmec announced the availability of jumper headers which are a low cost interconnect for attaching flexible jumpers to printed circuit boards where a connect/disconnect feature is desired. Elmec's customer base is spread from medical electronics to computers and peripherals to diagnostic and test equipment to communications and personal electronics to military and aerospace applications. Elmec has maintained consistent double digit growth throughout its 17 years in existence. Elmec is located in Oceanside, California's Rancho Del Oro Technology Park, owned by the founders, and built out specifically for manufacturing flexible interconnects.
