Defense & Aerospace Manufacturing

Built for Mission-Critical Systems

For over 30 years, defense and aerospace contractors have trusted GCA Flex to deliver precision circuits on time and cost-effectively.

GC Aero Flexible Circuitry manufactures diverse flex circuit parts for the Aerospace and Military markets — industries that demand the highest standards for mission-critical systems where failure is not an option.

GCA Flex is ISO 9001:2008 certified with ITAR registration authorizing manufacturing of export-controlled circuits for US defense and government programs. Our quality systems include the additional requirements necessary for aerospace and defense applications.

GC Aero is actively pursuing CMMC Level 2 Certification, with completion expected by November 2026. CMMC Level 2 compliance is increasingly required for suppliers within the DoD supply chain, ensuring that controlled unclassified information (CUI) is handled according to NIST SP 800-171 standards. This certification further solidifies GC Aero’s commitment to serving defense and aerospace customers with the highest levels of security and regulatory compliance.

Adhesiveless construction delivers thinner, more flexible circuits. Additive processing enables trace and space capabilities down to .0015 inch in production. Microvia sizes down to .001 inch yield high-density, multi-layer flex circuits for the most demanding avionics and sensor interconnects.

Alternate conductor materials — beryllium copper, stainless steel, and cupronickel — are available for applications requiring unique structural, thermal, or electrical performance beyond standard copper.

Technical Specs

Advanced Aerospace Capabilities

Trace & Space: .0015

Adhesiveless construction and additive processing enable production trace and space to 1.5 mils — meeting the highest-density aerospace interconnect requirements.

Microvia: .001

Laser-drilled microvias to 0.001 inch provide interlayer connections for extremely high-density multilayer flex used in mission-critical avionics and sensors.

Adhesiveless Construction

Direct-bonded copper on polyimide. Thinner, more flexible circuits with better thermal performance — critical for weight-sensitive aerospace applications.

Alternate Conductor Materials

Beryllium copper, stainless steel, and cupronickel available for applications requiring unique structural, thermal, or electrical performance.

KAPTON Thermal Stability

Survives vibration, shock, and thermal cycling that destroys rigid boards — the standard for demanding aerospace environments.

Long-Program Experience

Active defense programs running for 20+ years without interruption. Proven consistency over decades of program execution.
