Flexible PCB (FPC)
Circuits built on flexible polymer film instead of rigid laminate, able to bend, fold or flex in use.
Overview
Circuits built on flexible polymer film instead of rigid laminate, able to bend, fold or flex in use.
Why it matters
Flexible circuits replace wiring harnesses and connectors, save weight, and let electronics fit shapes a rigid board can't -- including assemblies that move repeatedly.
Typical Applications
- Wearables and medical devices
- Cameras, displays and hinged assemblies
- Automotive sensors and harness replacement
- Compact consumer electronics
Manufacturing Considerations
- Bend radius, and whether flexing is static or dynamic, drive the stack-up and copper choice
- Stiffeners are usually needed under connectors and components
- Coverlay openings and routing through bend areas follow their own design rules
