What are the advantages of flexible pcb?

Flexible printed circuit boards (also known as flexible PCBs or flex PCBs) are named for their ability to enable circuits to be designed to fit electronic devices or products, as opposed to building devices that fit circuit boards. Flexible board is characterized by printed circuit board and component arrangement with obvious pattern, and highlighted by extensible base material.

Flexible PCB is light weight, easy to install, durable and compact. The wide range of motion makes it ideal for almost all applications. Use flexible circuits in “bend install” applications or dynamic applications where the circuits are constantly moving. Flexible circuits are also advantageous for design kits that focus primarily on space.

Physical advantages of flex:

• As the name suggests, it has higher flexibility and can better
• Resistance to vibration and motion; low mass / weight
• Small package size
• Allow the circuit board to bend to the desired shape
• Allow for more compact devices
• High tensile strength – can deform / deform significantly without breaking
• High curvature – up to 360 degrees
• Easy to operate in harsh environment
• With flexible flat cable (FCC), it can be bent without damage and takes up less space than traditional wires

Manufacturing and assembly advantages:

• Improve design freedom
• Installation flexibility
• Improve reliability and durability
• Improve heat dissipation
• Improve airflow
