FPC flexible plate advantages and disadvantages

Release date:2022-01-12

1. Advantages:

(1) free bending, coiling, folding, can be arbitrarily arranged in accordance with the spatial layout requirements, and is moving in three-dimensional space and scale, so as to achieve integration of the components assembly and wire connection;

(2) use of FPC can greatly reduce the volume and weight of the electronic products, applicable to electronic products to the needs of the development of high density, miniaturization, high reliability direction. Therefore, FPC flexible plate in aerospace, military, mobile communications, laptop computers, computer peripherals, PDA, digital cameras, and other fields or the product has been widely used;

(3) FPC flexible plate also has good heat resistance and weldability, and is easy to install and low comprehensive cost, a combination of hard and soft design also to some extent compensate for the flexible base on component bearing capacity of slightly less than.

2. Disadvantages:

(1) one-time high initial costs due to soft PCB is designed for special applications, manufacturing, so start circuit design, wiring and photoplate needs higher cost. Unless there is special need to apply the soft PCB, usually a small application, had better not use.

(2) soft PCB change and be difficult to repair soft PCB once made, to change must begin from the reproduction or light painting program, so it is not easy to change. Its surface covered a layer of protective film, to remove before repair, repair after recovery, this is a difficult job.

(3) size restricted soft PCB in situations where it is not popular, usually made by the intermittent method process, so by restrictions on the size of production equipment, can't be very long, very wide.

(4) the improper operation is easy to damage, even the improper operation may cause the damage of the soft circuit, the soldering and rework operation need to be trained personnel.
