SMT including labor and materials_FPC advantages

The full name of FPC used in SMT is Flexible Printed Circuit, which is a flexible circuit board. It is usually made of polyimide or polyester film as the substrate. It has the advantages of high reliability and flexibility, high wiring density, light weight, thin thickness, good bending, etc. Sichuan Yingteli will briefly introduce the common application fields and advantages of FPC to you below.

FPC is used in many fields due to its physical flexibility, such as wearable devices, which are very common, including aerospace, medical, automotive and many other fields.
The flexibility of FPC can achieve the purpose that rigid PCB cannot achieve, and it is usually distinguished according to the number of electrical layers, structure, whether there are plated through holes, etc.
The following are the advantages of FPC in common SMT package:
1. It can form complex three-dimensional shapes, and branches can branch to multiple connectors.
2. It can be connected to a rigid board and does not require the use of common tall and bulky connectors.
3. It performs well in ultra-high vacuum environments such as space.
4. It is light in weight, with a weight reduction of up to 75% compared to other materials.
5. It can reduce assembly costs by reducing the number of components and interconnections.
6. Standardized structure eliminates potential sources of error for manual wiring harnesses.
7. It is suitable for places where other solutions are not feasible.
8. It can provide better bending capabilities.
9. It can provide good reliability with only fewer interconnections.
10. It performs well in vibration and shock environments
. 11. It performs well in harsh environments.
12. It has excellent resistance to chemical, radiation and ultraviolet radiation.
