Custom Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) Film
Product Description
Custom Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) Film
Benefits of FPC
Flexible printed circuits (FPC) are made with a photolithographic technology. Flex circuits are often used as connectors or interconnects in various applications where flexibility, space savings, or production constraints limit the serviceability of rigid circuit boards or hand wiring.
Flexible circuits are found in industrial and medical devices where many interconnections are required in a compact package or in instrument panels for automotive applications.
FPCs have several advantages and usage in many applications:
Accommodate tightly assembled electronic packages
Be used in electrical connections where the assembly is required to flex during its normal use
Be used in electrical connections between sub-assemblies to replace wire harnesses, which are heavier and bulkier,
Be used in electrical connections where board thickness or space constraints are driving factors.
Replace multiple rigid boards and/or connectors
Have the ability to stack FPCs in various configurations
Have higher conductor conductivity compared to Membrane Switches

FPC opinions:
1. Multilayer flexible circuit board
2. Direct soldering electronic components, such as IC、electric impedance、electric capacity、LED、connector, etc.
3. Wire high-density configuration
4. Thinner
5. High temperature resistant
6. Special requirements for volume
7. Widely used in PC、monitor and consumer electronic products
