OKI Electric Cable, a member of the OKI Group, has launched small-lot custom long flexible printed circuits (FPCs) designed specifically for rockets and satellite equipment in the New Space industry. Available from July 8, 2025, these FPCs cater to the increasing demand for lightweight, compact, and custom-designed components used in space exploration and satellite development. They can be made up to 100 meters long. This makes them great for single-unit prototyping. They are perfect for quick development and testing.
Manufactured at OKI’s Gunma Factory using proprietary technology, the FPCs allow wiring in constrained or three-dimensional spaces and can withstand high heat and radiation. With proven performance, including deployment on JAXA’s IKAROS solar sail mission, OKI’s solutions are built for reliability and adaptability.

The company uses two production systems: sheet-fed for small lots and roll-to-roll for large runs. This setup allows for quick turnarounds and lowers launch costs. OKI launches this product to help make next-gen space hardware smaller and cheaper. They aim for ¥50 million in sales by FY2026. This initiative supports OKI’s Medium-Term Business Plan 2025. It focuses on aerospace as a key growth area.
