2. Thus, in theory, a single FPC flexible circuit board can effectively manage all wiring tasks within a device.
3. By utilizing FPC flexible circuit boards, many connectors and wires can be eliminated, significantly reducing the overall wiring volume.
4. This contributes to the miniaturization and lightweight design of electronic products.
5. Furthermore, FPC flexible circuit boards can accommodate various components and be neatly stored within the machine’s gaps.
6. A well-designed circuit requires no soldering or adjustments after installation in the chassis, which effectively lowers costs.
1. The FPC flexible circuit board, or FPC flexible board, is known for its capacity to endure complex movements with a small radius. This characteristic is challenging to replicate with conventional wires. As a result, the recent integration of FPC flexible circuit boards into print heads has significantly surpassed the use of ordinary wires. Nearly all print heads in electronic calculators and personal computers now utilize FPC flexible circuit boards.
2. Moreover, recent advancements in circuit formation technology have enabled the standardization of circuits with widths of 0.1 mm and pitches of 0.2 mm. This is particularly advantageous for circuits that require multiple signal flows but do not handle large currents, as the ground and power circuits can be configured concurrently.
3. A primary advantage of FPC flexible circuit boards is their lightweight and thin profile. Most rigid printed circuit boards (RPCs) have a thickness of 1.6 mm, while newly developed glass fiber RPCs measure only 0.4 to 0.6 mm in thickness. Typically, when a current of approximately 1A passes through a wire, the insulating sheath has an outer diameter of around 1 mm. However, with a standard FPC flexible circuit board featuring a substrate thickness of just 25 μm, the overall thickness is only 100 to 140 μm. This highlights the significant thickness advantages of FPC flexible circuit boards.
4. Regarding weight, the disparity between plastic and glass fiber matrices is stark. Thus, to achieve reductions in both weight and volume of products, reliance on FPC is essential.
5. Additionally, FPC flexible circuit boards enhance product reliability. Fewer solder joints mean fewer connectors, greatly diminishing the risk of failure. Compared to traditional substrates that require individual wire bonding, assembly time can be significantly reduced, minimizing operational errors. Consequently, this leads to a substantial decrease in the need for online repairs and significantly lowers production costs.
