FPC: Flexible Circuit Board
PCB: Hardboard, Printed Circuit Board
FPC flexible circuit board is a highly reliable and excellent flexible printed circuit board made of polyimide or polyester film as the substrate.
PCB (Printed Circuit Board), also known as printed circuit board or printed circuit board in Chinese, is an important electronic component that serves as a support for electronic components and provides electrical connections for electronic components. Due to its use of electronic printing technology, it is called a "printed" circuit board.
FPC: Flexible Circuit Board (FPC): abbreviated as "flexible board", also known as "flexible circuit board", also known as "flexible circuit board" or "flexible circuit board", English is "FPC PCB" or "FPCB, Flexible and Rigid Flex".
PCB generally uses FR4 as the base material, also known as a hard board, which cannot be bent or bent. FPC generally uses PI as the base material, which is a flexible material that can be bent or bent at will. PCB is generally used in some places that do not require bending and require relatively hard strength, such as computer motherboards, mobile phone motherboards, etc. FPC generally operates in areas that require repeated bending and connection of some small components, such as the folded part of flip phones, the part where printers connect print heads, and various modules (such as the connection between display modules and motherboards). With the development of lightweight, thin, short, and small products nowadays, some product PCBs cannot meet the requirements well, and FPC will gradually be used to achieve it. In short, FPC can be understood as a flexible and bendable PCB.
