What are the advantages of flexible FPC circuit board

2022-03-08
As the name suggests, FPC flexible printed circuit board has the function of bending and using, and can be made into a three-dimensional space. Therefore, theoretically, only one FPC flexible circuit board / FPC flexible board can complete the overall wiring work in one machine.
Because the use of FPC flexible circuit board / FPC flexible board can omit many connectors or wires and greatly reduce the wiring volume, it can make electronic products achieve the goal of miniaturization and lightweight. In addition, many parts can be assembled on FPC flexible circuit board / FPC flexible board and can be stored in the gap in the machine. Therefore, the well-designed circuit does not need any welding and adjustment work after being installed in the chassis, which virtually greatly reduces the cost.
Because FPC flexible circuit board / FPC flexible circuit board has the ability to withstand small radius twists and turns, this characteristic is difficult to replace by ordinary wires. Therefore, the FPC flexible circuit board / FPC soft board used on the printing head has an absolute advantage over ordinary wires recently, and almost all the printing heads on electronic calculators and personal computers have adopted FPC flexible circuit board / FPC soft board. In the recently developed circuit forming technology, the circuit with width of 0.1mm and spacing of 0.2mm can be programmed. Especially for the circuit that needs to flow most signals but does not need to flow large current, the ground wire and power line can be configured at the same time.
Light and thin is a major feature of FPC flexible circuit board / FPC flexible board. Most RPCs have a thickness of 1.6mm, while the recently developed glass fiber RPC also has a thickness of 0.40.6mm. When a current of about 1A flows through a general wire, the thickness of its insulating skin should also have an outer diameter of 1mm. However, if FPC flexible circuit board / FPC flexible board with general performance is adopted, if the substrate thickness is 25um, the overall thickness needs to be only 100140um, which fully shows the advantages of FPC flexible circuit board / FPC flexible board in thickness. In terms of weight, the weight of plastic matrix and glass fiber matrix can not be compared at all.
From the above points, we can see that if we want to reduce the weight and volume of the product, we have to rely on FPC.
In addition, FPC flexible circuit board / FPC flexible circuit board has the advantage of improving the reliability of products. That is, due to the reduction of welding points, the connector will also be reduced, which greatly reduces the chance of failure. In addition, compared with the traditional substrate of welding line by line, the assembly man hour can be greatly reduced and many operation errors can be saved. Therefore, the on-line repair work can be greatly reduced and the production cost can be greatly reduced.
