What is FPC?
FPC, flexible pcb printed circuit, which is a circuit board mainly
composed of CU (Copperfoil), A (Adhesive) and PI (Kapton,
Polyimide). It has manyadvantages such as space saving, weight
reduction and high flexibility, whichhas a wide range of
applications in production and life, and the market is
stillexpanding.
FPC features
- Reduce the size of the application product, save space, greatly
reduce the weight, increase the effect, and reduce the cost.
- It has high flexibility and can be 3D wired, changing shape
according to space constraints.
- Foldable without affecting signal transmission, anti-static
interference.
- High temperature resistance and flame resistance.
- The chemical change is stable, and the stability and reliability
are high.
- Provide more related solutions for related products, which can
reduce assembly man-hours and errors, and improve the service life
of related products.
FPC application
FPCs are widely used in commercial electronic equipment, car
dashboards, printers, hard drives, floppy drives, fax machines,
mobile phones, general telephones, notebook computers, cameras,
video cameras, CD-ROMs, Hard drives, watches, computers, cameras,
medical equipment, and other electronic products and equipment.
