Flexible printed circuit board
are one of the widely used printed circuit board. FPCB’s are highly efficient as they have interconnectivity
solutions that are widely used in electronic devices having complex circuitry.
Flexible printed circuit board consist of a metallic layer of traces bonded to a dielectric layer. They are originally designed as a replacement for traditional
wire harnesses. They offer multiple advantages such as reduce the production cost,
solve packaging problems, reduce weight and space, dynamic flexing and helps to
improve aesthetics. Furthermore, Flexible printed circuit board can be
classified in various types such as Single sided circuit, double-sided circuit,
Multi-layer circuit and others
The benefits offered by flexible
printed circuit board such as reduction of size, weight, and cost, design
freedom and flexibility is driving the growth of flexible printed circuit board
market. Also, the use of FPCB reduces the number of interconnects that makes FPCB
type the obvious choice of PCB for consumer electronics manufacturers. In
addition, growing demand for consumer electronics for entertainment,
