Flexible Printed Circuit Boards
Flexible PCB Applications
Rigid plates have added some limitations in product design as they cannot be installed in limited spaces. Circuit boards need to have vibration resistance in products that are often subjected to mechanical impact.
Flexible PCBs are more suitable for this situation as they can be bent and wrapped if needed. They can survive in harsh temperatures ranging from -200 to 400 degrees Celsius. Compared to traditional circuit boards, these functions make flexible circuit boards more reliable and durable.
Advantages of Ceramic PCB
Feature |

Technology highlights |
Mainly polyimide materials, flex PCB’s are necessary when motion of the PCB is needed, when 3-D interconnections are necessary (i.e. replacing cables and connectors) or when these are both combined due to limited available space. |
