PCB board, also known as printed circuit board (PCB) or printed wire board (PWB) in Chinese, is commonly referred to as hard board. PCB board is the support body of electronic components, and there are metal conductors on the PCB board as the circuit connecting electronic components. PCB boards generally use FR-4 (which is a code for fire-resistant material grade, and resin materials of this specification must be able to self extinguish after combustion) as the substrate, and cannot be bent or bent.
PCB boards are generally used in areas that do not require bending and have relatively hard strength, such as the motherboard of electronic products such as computers and mobile phones.
FPC board, also known as Flexible Printed Circuit in Chinese, is abbreviated as FPC. In Chinese, FPC board can also be called flexible circuit board, flexible circuit board, flexible circuit board, flexible circuit board, etc. It is a special type of PCB board.
FPC boards have the characteristics of light weight, thin thickness, softness, and flexibility. They can be used in many products such as mobile phones, laptops, PDAs, digital cameras, LCD displays, and more.
Compared to hard boards, FPC boards are referred to as soft boards, also known as flexible circuit boards. FPC boards generally use PI as the substrate, which is flexible and can be bent or bent.
Based on the characteristics and advantages of flexibility, FPC boards are generally used in application scenarios that require repeated bending. At present, in the smartphone industry, FPC can be applied more based on its own characteristics.
FPC boards are not only flexible circuit boards, but also an important design method for connecting three-dimensional circuit structures. When combined with other electronic product designs, three-dimensional structures can be used to construct many different applications. Therefore, although FPC boards belong to a subset of PCB boards, they are very different from traditional PCB boards.
PCB boards are generally flat unless the circuit is made into a three-dimensional structure by coating with adhesive. In order to fully utilize three-dimensional space, FPC boards are a good solution for products such as mobile phones, which have very valuable internal space.
