FPC stands for Flexible Printed Circuit.
Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC), also known as flexible circuit boards, flexible circuit boards, its light weight, thin thickness, free bending and folding and other excellent features and favored, and with the rapid development of the electronics industry, the circuit board design tends to be more and more high-precision, high-density, the traditional manual inspection methods have been unable to meet the production needs, FPC defects automated inspection The FPC is a new type of PCB that can be used in a wide variety of applications.
Flexible Circuit (FPC) is the 1970s the United States for the development of space rocket technology development of technology, is made of polyester film or polyimide as a substrate with a high degree of reliability, excellent flexural printed circuits, through the bending of the thin and lightweight plastic sheet, embedded circuit design, so that a large number of precision components embedded in a narrow and limited space to form a bendable flexible circuits.
FPC use
1, electronic products: FPC has a high degree of flexibility and bendability, according to the product design requirements for flexible arrangement of circuit connections. It can be embedded with other electronic components to achieve a more compact, thin and light product design. In addition, FPC is able to effectively solve the problems of messy wires and weak connections, improving the reliability and durability of products.
2, the automotive industry: the electrical system in the car requires a large number of wires and connectors, and FPC can meet the complex electrical wiring needs. For example, in car navigation systems and instrument panels, FPC can connect various control modules, sensors and displays to realize information transmission and control.
3, medical equipment: medical equipment for the electrical connection requirements are very strict, the requirements of high stability, durability, FPC can provide stable electrical connection, and can adapt to the flexible wiring needs of medical equipment.
