FPC flexible circuit board

When preparing to use FPC flexible circuit boards/FPC soft boards as circuits, it is not only necessary to consider the printed circuit board functions of FPC flexible circuit boards/FPC soft boards, but also the functions equivalent to connectors or wires. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss the following three comparisons to determine whether to use FPC flexible circuit boards/FPC flexible boards.



Although comparing the prices of FPC flexible circuit board/FPC soft board and RPC alone, of course, FPC flexible circuit board/FPC soft board is more expensive, using FPC flexible circuit board/FPC soft board can simultaneously have processes such as connector injection, wire injection, soldering, etc. Therefore, the labor and cost during the assembly process can be omitted, and the total cost may not differ too much. Therefore, the calculation of cost will vary depending on the shape of the product, the position of the parts, and the wiring structure. If we only compare FPC flexible circuit boards/FPC soft boards and RPC separately, it is true that FPC flexible circuit boards/FPC soft boards are more expensive. FPC flexible circuit board/FPC soft board ≥ RPC



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



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



But if we consider the cost of soldering and assembly engineering saved by FPC flexible circuit boards/FPC flexible boards, the cost difference between the two may not be far. If we consider the miniaturization, lightweight, and high reliability effects brought by using FPC flexible circuit boards/FPC soft boards, FPC flexible circuit boards/FPC soft boards are worth adopting. However, it is worth noting that the assembly and processing costs of FPC flexible circuit boards/FPC soft boards may vary depending on the shape or device of the parts, so it is possible that the cost of FPC flexible circuit boards/FPC soft boards may be higher, i.e



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



After comparing the costs listed above, it can be found that the possibility of lower costs for FPC flexible circuit boards/FPC flexible boards is higher. It is not enough to only consider the price of FPC flexible circuit boards/FPC flexible boards themselves.
