FPC flexible circuit board/FPC flexible board

When preparing to use FPC flexible circuit board/FPC flexible board as the circuit, it is not only necessary to consider the printed circuit board function of FPC flexible circuit board/FPC flexible board, but also the function equivalent to connector or wire. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss the following three points to determine whether to use FPC flexible circuit board/FPC flexible circuit board.



1、 Price comparison



Although only comparing the price of FPC FPC/FPC and RPC, of course, FPC FPC/FPC is more expensive, but using FPC FPC/FPC can simultaneously have the processes of connector injection, wire injection and soldering, so the labor hours and costs can be omitted in the assembly process, and the total costs may not differ too much. Therefore, the cost calculation will vary according to the shape of the product, part location, and wiring structure. If we only compare FPC FPC/FPC FPC and RPC separately, it is true that FPC FPC/FPC is more expensive. That is, FPC flexible circuit board/FPC flexible board ≥ RPC



It is now known that FPC flexible circuit board/FPC flexible board can save the cost of connectors and wires. Therefore, this cost can be added to RPC, but it is still cheaper than FPC FPC/FPC FPC. Namely



FPC flexible circuit board/FPC flexible board>RPC+connector+wire



However, if we consider the cost of soldering and assembly engineering saved by FPC FPC/FPC FPC, the cost of the two may not be far apart. If we consider the miniaturization, lightweight and high reliability effects of using FPC flexible circuit board/FPC soft board, FPC flexible circuit board/FPC soft board is worth adopting. However, it is worth noting that the assembly and processing costs of FPC FPC/FPC FPC will vary depending on the shape or the device of the part, so it is possible that the cost of FPC FPC/FPC FPC may be higher, namely



FPC flexible circuit board/FPC flexible board+processing fee ≈ RPC connector+wire+processing fee



After comparing the costs listed above, it can be found that the cost of FPC FPC/FPC FPC is relatively low. It is not enough to only consider the price of FPC FPC/FPC.



2、 Functional comparison



In practice, the price is rarely considered, but the function is mainly considered.



1) First of all, pay attention to the weight and volume of the machine. If the wiring space is too narrow, RPC wiring cannot be used.



2) If the movable parts such as printing head or magnetic head are wired with FPC flexible circuit board/FPC flexible board, the reliability shall be strictly required.



3、 Comparison of trust



The use of FPC flexible circuit board/FPC flexible board can greatly reduce the possibility of wrong wiring and poor contact performance, and also improve the reliability of these aspects. However, it is difficult to measure the reliability by price, so FPC FPC/FPC FPC is rarely used in practice for the reason of only improving the reliability. On the other hand, it is difficult to use FPC flexible circuit board/FPC flexible board in automatic assembly, and it must rely on manual operation, so it may cause errors or missing in operation. In general, using FPC FPC/FPC FPC still has high reliability.
