What is an fpc tube? What are the advantages and disadvantages of an fpc tube

The modern electronic industry is rich, such as FPC pipes, PVC pipes, etc., and each type of pipe material also differs. When it comes to FPC pipes, I believe many friends are not familiar with them. So what kind of pipe is FPC? What are its advantages and disadvantages? Let's follow the editor immediately to learn about the relevant knowledge.



1、 What is an FPC tube



FPC, also known as flexible circuit board, belongs to semi rigid plastic tubes. The main material is made of polyimide or polyester film, which has high reliability and excellent flexibility. Its characteristic is high wiring density, which can effectively reduce product volume and softness. As an assembly work in a three-dimensional space, it can be moved freely. In addition, it is also widely used in various areas such as players and medical devices.



2、 What are the advantages and disadvantages of fpc tubes



1. Advantages



The volume of FPC pipes is relatively small, and the assembly density is relatively high. When installing and connecting them, there is no need for too many components, and it makes them more reliable. In addition, the product has great elasticity, which can effectively increase the wiring layer.



The use of FPC tubes can effectively form circuit impedance and improve transmission capacity. In addition to setting up a shielding layer for the circuit, it also has thermal insulation and other functions when installing a zinc layer, making installation more convenient and greatly improving safety performance.



2. Disadvantages



Although FPC tubes have many advantages, everything has its pros and cons. Due to the fact that FPC pipes are made of special materials and have high requirements for circuit design and wiring, the cost is much higher compared to other pipes, so the selling price is also relatively expensive. Moreover, the cycle is relatively long and requires high reliability to be tested. Additionally, its later maintenance is quite cumbersome.
