The advantages of FPC boards mainly include high flexibility, light weight,withstand more bending cycles, anti-vibration performance,suitable for harsh environments,suitable for high-power applications, suitable for surface mount technology(SMT),effective thermal management,high Reliability and cost effectiveness.
FPC board,that is, flexible printed circuit board,with its unique physical and electrical properties,shows significant advantages in many aspects:
1.High flexibility: FPC boards can be easily placed around edges and boards with almost no wiring required, thus eliminating failures in wiring connections and improving equipment reliability.
2.Light weight:Compared with rigid printed circuit boards(PCB)or wire harness applications, the weight of FPC boards is reduced by more than 60%, making storage and installation eas ier and more convenient.
3.Withstand more bending cycles: FPC boards can withstand up to 200,000 bending cycles using standard materials.
4.Anti-vibration performance:Due to the flexibility and lightness of the FPC board, it can absorb vibration and effectively reduce its impact on the connection.
5.Suitable for harsh environments: FPC boards can be made of corrosion-resistant, moisture-proof, waterproof and shock-proof materials, making them suitable for use in harsh operating environments.
6.Suitable for high-power applications: The FPC connector board is equipped with a thick copper layer and can be used for high-power applications.
7.Suitable for Surface Mount Technology(SMT): Flexible boards are very suitable for use in SMT applications.
8.Effective Thermal Management: Since these conductors have a larger surface area to volume ratio than round wires, they can easily dissipate heat away from the circuit.
9.High Reliability: The traces on the FPC board are determined by the artwork, which eliminates the possibility of wiring errors and translates into highly reliable interconnects.
10.Cost-effectiveness: Using FPC boards, the completed component packaging size is smaller and the material cost is lower. Furthermore, wiring errors are reduced, thus reducing test time and additional costs.
These advantages make FPC boards widely used in electronic products that require high density, miniaturization, and lightweight design, meeting the needs of modern electronic products developing in the direction of high reliability and low cost.
