Flex PCB - What is Flex PCB

Flexible PCB and the birth and development of the PCB, Rigid-Flex PCB gave birth to this new product. Therefore, Flex PCB is flexible circuit board and rigid circuit boards, after lamination processes, according to the relevant process requirements together, forming characteristics have FPC PCB board characteristics.

1.Flex PCB - Production Process：

Because Flex PCB is a combination of FPC and the PCB, Flex PCB production should also have the FPC PCB production equipment and production equipment. First, the combination of soft board electronics engineer to draw a line and shape according to demand, then, can be issued to the Flex PCB production plant, through CAM engineers relevant documents for processing, planning, and then arrange FPC production line production need FPC, PCB production line to produce PCB, after these two soft board and hard board out, according to the planning requirements for electronic engineers, the FPC and PCB through seamless lamination lamination machine, and then through a series of detailed links, ultimately process the Flex PCB. A very important aspect should Flex PCB difficult, more details before shipping, are generally required to conduct the inspection, its value is relatively high, so as not to let the supply and demand sides related loss of interest.

2. Flex PCB - Advantages and Disadvantages：

Advantages: FPC Flex PCB along with features and characteristics of the PCB, so it can be used in some special requirements of the product among the region has some flexibility, but also have a certain rigidity region of the internal space-saving products reduce the volume of the finished product, improve product performance is very helpful.

Cons: Flex PCB production process many, difficult to produce low yields, cast materials, manpower more, so its price is more expensive, relatively long production cycle.

3. Flex PCB - Related Applications
Flex PCB's characteristics determine its application in all areas covered by FPC PCB applications, such as:

1.Mobile telephone

2.Keypad and side buttons, etc.

3.Computer and the LCD screen
Such as motherboards and display
a.CD Walkman
b.Drives
c.NOTEBOOK.

4. New Uses
Components of a hard disk drive (HDD, hard disk drive) suspension circuit and xe packaging board, etc.
