Many industries worldwide depend upon the use of flexible printed circuit boards in the manufacture of their good and products. Some examples include aerospace for avionics parts, commerce for bar coding equipment, automotive for air bag systems and electronic components, GPS systems, the medical industry for hearing aids, heart monitors and pace makers, communications and electronics for printers, cell phones, laptops, calculators, battery packs, satellites, and the list goes on.
Long History of Use
Flex circuits and flexible printed circuit boards have been around since as early as World War II. The technology has advanced, but the concept was there. Flexible printed circuits include an assortment of conductors which are affixed to a dielectric film. They are used in advanced technology that minimizes the use of other types of power conductors and make miniaturization of electronics possible. The evolution of flex circuits has been an ongoing process with strides made in making size and weight of the devices that depend on them smaller as customer demand and expectations are the drivers behind much of the technology that we now enjoy and appreciate.
Benefits of Flexible Printed Circuits
Flexible printed circuits, also known as flexible PCBs, flex circuit boards or flex circuits, held in the reduction of wiring errors. They also serve in eliminating the need for mechanical connectors. Their flexibility makes them superior choices in the design of smaller electronic devices as they help to maximize the use of small spaces within these devices. Flexible printed circuits provide higher circuit density, have the capacity for providing stronger signal quality and are functional within a wider temperature range. They also provide the capacity for significantly reducing the size and weight of the devices in which they are installed.
