CelLink Corporation
CelLink Corporation develops high-conductance flexible circuits for industries such as solar, LED, and battery, focusing on sustainability and automotive electrification.
CelLink Corporation Services
CelLink Corporation specializes in the development of very large, high-conductance flexible circuits tailored for the solar, LED, and battery industries. The company provides circuits that integrate busing, fusing, voltage monitoring, and temperature monitoring wiring systems into a single flexible circuit. These circuits offer enhanced control over power and data transmission compared to traditional round wire, at significantly reduced weight and volume. CelLink’s tool-less manufacturing process supports minimum order quantities starting from one, allowing for unparalleled flexibility in production.
CelLink Corporation Products
CelLink Corporation's product lineup features flexible circuits with variable copper thickness ranging from 17.5 to 250 µm and aluminum thickness from 17.5 to 500 µm. They offer multi-layer conductor assemblies and aluminum conductors with proprietary coatings to ensure a reliable solderable surface. The circuits can be soldered directly to controller PCBs and are designed for space-constrained areas in vehicles. CelLink also offers battery circuits capable of transmitting approximately 30 amps per centimeter of bus width, with no additional tooling cost for different cell variants. The circuits incorporate patterned adhesive backings for quick and reliable assembly.
CelLink Corporation Manufacturing and Technology
CelLink employs a lamination-based manufacturing technology which enables rapid prototyping of new designs with short lead times. The company’s manufacturing process can incorporate various metals and insulators into circuits, processing materials provided as foil or thermally-activated film. Precision in pattern accuracy is a key feature, achieving 0.01% accuracy on large parts. The company maintains a manufacturing facility in Georgetown, Texas, with an investment of $130 million, expected to create up to 2,000 jobs. This facility received a conditional commitment for a loan from the Department of Energy.
