custom Flexible Pcb circuit boards manufacturing

A Flex PCB or FPCB is a patterned arrangement of printed circuitry and components that utilizes flexible based material with or without flexible coverlay. These flexible electronic assemblies may be fabricated using the same components used for rigid printed circuit boards, but allowing the board to conform to a desired shape (flex) during its application.

Flexible PCB / FPCB Applications

FPCBs are used widely in everyday technology and electronics in addition to high-end, complex completed components. A few of the most prominent examples of flexible circuits usage is in modern portable electronics, devices, hard disk drives and desktop printers.

Flexible circuits are also used extensively in other applications and industries including:

Communications
Consumer Electronics
Automotive
Medical
Industrial
Aerospace
Military
Transportation
In transportation they are extensively used due to their improved resistance to vibrations and movement.

Heavy Copper Flex Circuit Boards

Topscom can provide heavy copper flex circuit boards that can also be coupled with flexible thin copper layers designed to handle heavier power currents. Your heavy copper boards can be built with flex portions for lower voltage additions and applications.

Double-Sided & Multi-Layer Flex PCBs

Whether you're looking for a double sided flex circuit or complex multi layer flexible PCBs from your flex PCB manufacturer, we can provide you with the guidance, expertise and capabilities to bring your concept to reality. Multi-layer flex boards are being used more often in electronic applications for higher speed performance but at a loss of flexibility. Single-sided or double-sided multi layer flex PCBs can be designed in unique and complex layouts, with a much greater possibility of combinations compared to FR4 board design. Just as multi-layer FR4 boards, the multi layer FPCBs can be designed using blind and buried vias as well as plated through holes (PTH).

Our strong network of manufacturers can push the limits on PCB fabrication technology, with very fine 1 mil traces, RF PCB or HDI PCB technology and more!

Some Benefits of Flexible PCBs

The primary benefits of flexible circuits compared to traditional cabling and rigid boards include the following benefits listed below. Read our full list of the advantages of Flex PCBs.
 

Flex boards benefits include:

Reduced wiring errors
Elimination of mechanical connectors
Unparalleled design flexibility
Higher circuit density
More robust operating temperature range
Stronger signal quality
Improved reliability and impedance control
Size and weight reduction
Flex PCB disadvantages also exist:

Higher material cost than rigid or rigid flex PCB
Low temperature ability in flex circuits
More difficult & complex assembly
Easily damaged through improper handling (easy to bend and dent)
Sensitive to scratching
Difficult or impossible to repair once damaged
Requires proper storage conditions (sulfur free plastic)
To ensure the highest quality of your flexible circuit board, we also offer thermal cycling and shock testing to ensure proper usage in the desired environment. PCB burn in testing is available for all SFC-provided boards. We can also provide PCB assembly for all circuit board types.
