What does fpc mean?

Fpc means flexible printed circuit board, also known as "fpc flexible board", which is a printed circuit made of flexible insulating substrate and has many advantages that hard printed circuit boards do not have.

Fpc flexible board also has the advantages of good heat dissipation and solderability, easy assembly, low comprehensive cost, etc. The combination of soft and hard design also makes up for the slight deficiency of flexible substrate in component bearing capacity to some extent. Flexible printed circuit boards can be divided into single-sided, double-sided and multilayer boards. The substrate used is mainly polyimide copper clad laminate.

This material has high heat resistance and good dimensional stability, and it is pressed with the covering film with mechanical protection and good electrical insulation to form the final product. The surface and inner layer conductors of double-sided and multilayer printed circuit boards are metallized to realize the electrical connection between the inner layer and the outer layer circuits.

Flexible printed circuit board's functions can be divided into four categories: leads, printed circuits, connectors and functional integration, and its applications cover computers, computer peripheral auxiliary systems, consumer household appliances and automobiles.

Advantages of fpc:

1, which can be bent, wound and folded freely, can be arranged randomly according to the requirements of spatial layout, and can be moved and unfolded freely in three-dimensional space, thus realizing the integration of assembly and wiring of components.

2. The use of 2.FPC can greatly reduce the volume and weight of electronic products, which is suitable for the development of electronic products in the direction of high density, miniaturization and high reliability. Therefore, FPC soft board has been widely used in aerospace, military, mobile communication, notebook computers, computer peripherals, PDA, digital cameras and other fields or products.

3.FPC flexible board also has the advantages of good heat dissipation and solderability, easy assembly and low comprehensive cost, and the design of combining soft and hard also makes up for the slight deficiency of flexible substrate in component bearing capacity to some extent.
