Today's market forces often push traditional flexes into high stress environments. These harsh conditions require careful upfront planning for both rugged and robust flex constructions. A thorough review and consideration of materials are critical for a flex that will last for years in the field.

Automotive electronics originated from the need to control engines. The first electronic pieces were used to control engine functions and were referred to as engine control units (ECU). As electronic controls began to be used for more automotive applications, the acronym ECU took on the more general meaning of "electronic control unit", and then specific ECU's were developed. Now, ECU's are modular. Two types include engine control modules (ECM) or transmission control modules (TCM).
