FPC manufacturers know the importance of flexible pcbs in latest technology. 

Nowadays we can see that there is great use of flexible printed circuits in almost every field of technology. And here are some of its common uses.

These are:

•camcorders

•VCR’s

•automobiles

•portable phones

•SLR cameras for avionics and military systems, etc.

All of these were its low-profile applications. Furthermore, uses of flexible pcb boards in high-profile applications also has become part and parcel. One of its grand examples is here.

Scientists had made use of flexible circuit technology in a Sojourner robot. This robot had collected data from the surface of Mars in summer 1997.

By seeing the needs and uses of flexible pcb, Flexible pcb manufacturers have come to final conclusion. And this conclusion is that, it has become essential for every field of life. From notebook computer to flip-lid mobile phone, all is not possible without flexible technology.

This technology allows all the components to connect electronically in following two ways, like:

1.Three-dimensional way

2.dynamic way.

Manufacturers explain that the history of flexible pcb technology has started from hundred years ago. But it has arrived in the field of commercially during the last some decades.

Furthermore, here are the names of famous scientists who figure out this technology during the early 20th century. Although there are many names but some popular names are:

•Frank Sprague

•Thomas Edison.

What is flexible circuit board?

FPC manufacturers states that flexible pcbs have the following qualities, such as:

•light weight

•thin electrical circuits.

Moreover, these light weight circuits have ability to fit in small areas or gaps. And can be mold according to shapes. Basically, they have best conductive strips. FPC Manufacturers generally create these strips with metal, such as copper.

Similarly, these strips have encased with an insulating dielectric material. This dielectric material has made of solder mask or polyimide. Polyimide is basically an outstanding insulator. And this insulator allows the circuit to do the following:

•bend

•pollution resist

•bear and resist high temperatures.

For Flexible pcb manufacturers flexible pcbs are not much different from rigid board.

So, it is really essential to produce a mechanical model of the flexible PCB. Moreover, manufacturers know that, it is also very important to test it for a perfect fit before finalizing the electrical design.
