Features of Flexible Circuit PCB

Flexible PCB is printed circuits made of flexible insulating substrates and have many advantages over rigid PCB:

1. Flexible PCB can be bent, wound, and folded freely. It can be arranged according to the space layout requirements. Itcan also be moved and expanded in three-dimensional space, which allows us to achieve the integration of component assembly and wire connection.

2.The use of FPC can greatly reduce the volumeand weight of electronic products(up to 70% saving). It is suitable for the development of electronic products in the direction of high density, miniaturization, and high reliability. Therefore, FPC has been widely used in aerospace, military, mobile communications, laptops, computer peripherals, PDAs, digital cameras, and other fields or products.

3.FPC also has the advantages of good heat dissipation and solderability, easy assembly and low overall cost, etc. The soft and hard combination design also makes up for the slight deficiency of the flexible substrate in the component carrying capacity to a certain extent.

4.Wiring errors eliminated.

5.Improves electronic packaging – Gives designers the ability to solve packaging and interconnect issues based on the ability to form, bend, and move.

6.Interconnect solution – Reduces the number of interconnects (wire, cables, connectors, PCBs).

7.Electrical integration – Tailored solutions can be created based on the myriad of material choices, plating, and designs.

 Short: Short assembly time  (Reduce 30% hand wiring), All lines are configured, eliminating the need to connect redundant cables.

Small: smaller than PCB (Rigid board), It can effectively reduce the product volume and increase the convenience of carrying.

Light: Lighter than rigid PCB, Can reduce the weight of the final product.

Thin: Thickness is thinner than rigid PCB, It can improve the softness and strengthen the three-dimensional assembly in a limited space.
