Applications of Flexible Printed Circuit Boards (FPC)
Date: 2025-11-29
A Flexible Printed Circuit Board (FPC) is an electronic interconnection device based on flexible insulating substrates such as Polyimide (PI) and Polyester (PET). Copper foil circuits are formed on the substrate through processes like photolithography and etching, allowing the board to be bent and folded freely.
Compared with traditional Printed Circuit Boards (PCB), FPC is more flexible and not limited by space. For example, most PCBs we usually see are green rigid boards covered with circuits, while FPC can be as thin as paper and bendable like paper. If your electronic product is small or has complex internal space, FPC is definitely the right choice.
You might wonder: "Since it can be so thin and bendable, does it lack performance?" You don’t need to worry at all—both FPC and PCB have their own advantages in different application scenarios. For instance, traditional PCBs are suitable for products with sufficient space that need to carry large components, while FPC is ideal for small-sized products that require bending.
