The advantages of FPC circuit board

PCB printed circuit board has several types, each has its own advantages. FPC PCB is one of the most common type of circuit board, and FPC circuit board has many advantages in the application of electronic products, the advantages of FPC PCB introduces for you below.

1. The flexibility

FPC PCB's main advantage is its flexibility and bending capacity. Therefore, can use various ways to manipulate them to fit edges, folds and creases. Circuit board's flexibility also means that it is more reliable than ordinary PCB and durable, because it can reduce the influence of vibration, and very few wiring and circuit boards. The least wiring eliminates need for the interface connections, solder joints, for example, contact pressure and connector.

2. To reduce weight and space

Compared with other solutions, FPC circuit board not only can provide greater design degrees of freedom, and can also provide better space utilization efficiency, and weight. FPC PCB, thin and light, can greatly reduce the weight and space. For smaller devices, which can be flexible plate fold, crease and placed in a smaller area, in order to make equipment miniaturization. This makes the FPC circuit board is more suitable for small devices, because they can be installed on the rigid circuit board can't install.

3. Suitable for bad environment

FPC circuit board can use all sorts of corrosion resistant materials, can withstand harsh environment. These materials can be waterproof, shockproof, moisture-proof even corrosion resistance. Therefore, the flexible plate due to the quality of its strength and durability are widely used in military and medical applications. Board of natural flexibility also can better absorb shock and impact.

4. Better thermal management

FPC circuit board made of polyimide have excellent thermal stability, can withstand high heat. This also means that the improved heat dissipation performance makes the plate surface installation better base, and the thermal expansion and contraction is unlikely to occur. FPC PCB can also heat faster than many other solutions, so as to improve the thermal efficiency.

5. To reduce costs

FPC circuit boards can help reduce assembly costs in a number of ways. PCB material of polyimide, thin and light, which means that it requires less space. Less space demand means final assembly packaging size and the requirements of the cost of materials. Because the FPC PCB eliminates will wire wiring to the needs of solder joints and connectors, therefore, due to the decrease in the number of components, further reducing the assembly cost. By reducing the number of components on the board and cable, test and rework time can be reduced, thus improve the productivity and efficiency.
