What are Flexible PCBs and FPC Structure

  • A flexible PCB, or FPC, is a thin and bendable circuit board that can be single-layer, dual-layer, or multilayer. An FPC layer or a single-layer flexible PCB, consists of a polyimide (PI) substrate layer, two rolled copper foils on two sides, and two external PI layers. Between the PI substrate and copper foil can be or not be adhesive.
  • Dual-layer flexible PCBs or multilayer PCBs are manufactured by laminating the alternating layers of PI and copper on the FPC core.
  • The flexible circuit boards having adhesive between the PI substrate/layers and copper foils look darker, and those without adhesive between PI and copper look more close the PI color (usually yellow). The two external PI layers called coverlay function as the solder mask.

Flexible Printed Circut Board Assembly

flexible PCB assembly
Besides flexible PCB manufacturing, PCBONLINE also provides single-layer, dual-layer, and multilayer FPC assembly, including electronic components sourcing.
The assembly technique of flexible PCBs is also surface-mount technology (SMT) as rigid PCBs do. But flexible PCB assembly has these differences:
● Before the SMT assembly, flexible PCBs need baking for one hour to remove the moisture that the FPC materials absorb.
● During the assembly process, flexible circuit boards need to be fixed on a rigid surface for dimensional stability.
At PCBONLINE, fine-pitch FPC assembly is available, and the minimum SMD package size is 01005. COB LEDs, IC chips, and other components are available to mount on flexible PCBs from PCBONLNINE.

Benefits of Flexible PCBs

  • Flexible printed circuit boards are widely used in PC and peripheral products, automotive electronics, medical equipment, communication products, consumer electronics because of these benefits:
  • ● Flexible PCBs are thin and light and reduce the electronic products 40% to 60% of space and 60% to 80% of the weight.
  • ● Flexible PCBs are bendable, foldable, twistable, and can move and stretch in 3D space to achieve integration of assembly and connection.
  • ● FPCs have high reliability, good signal communication character, good solderability, and a low soldering defect rate.

Jamie Taylor/Head Engineer
"I have double-sided flexible PCBs manufactured from PCBONLINE. The FPC board for gastroscopy is extremely small, and the board thickness is only 0.1mm. The flexible PCB quality is good, and PCBONLINE gives a pleasant price for manufacturing. PCBONLINE is a reliable flexible PCB supplier for medical electronics."
Robert Gouhl/Co-founder
"My flexible circuit boards require to be carbon-ink coated, and you can see that from the picture. The smile face pad is silver plated and then carbon ink coated. PCBONLINE makes very neat stuff, and their professional engineers also give me useful improvement advice."
Mahadev Borovykov/Engineering Manager
