Flex PCB
FLEX PCB Flex PCB
 can be defined as a patterned printed circuitry arrangement. It also 
refers to components which use flexible based materials that either have
 flexible coverlay or those that don’t. Components used in the 
fabrication for rigid printed circuit boards can equally be used in Flex PCB.
 This is possible if the board conforms to the desired flexible shape. 
Flex PCB is a day to day procedure used in common technologies and in 
particular, high end electronics use the concept.
    
    

Electronics like desktop printers and hard disk drives use this knowledge. Flex PCB
 is used in a wide area of technology ranging from; automotive, medical,
 communication, consumer electronics, transportation, military, 
aerospace and in industries. They are highly preferred in transport 
industry due to their capacity to withstand high vibrations. There are 
various types of Flex PBC; Double Sided and Multi-layer flex which are 
mostly used in high speed applications with a desire for flexibility. 
Double sided Flex PBC is designed in various shapes to meet the demand 
of the user. They can also be designed using “Bling and Buried Vias” 
with Plated through Holes. Secondly, there is the Heavy Copper Flex 
Circuit Boards and they can be coupled with a flexible and thin copper 
layer that is designed to carry heavy currents. Flex PBC has a number of
 benefits. It helps in the reduction of wiring errors. With the 
traditional cabling boards, it is common to have issues with the wires. Flex PBC
 provides room for high level of circuit density. It can carry heavy 
circuit with no setbacks. It eliminates mechanical connectors and 
provides range for more robust temperatures. Flex PBC gives a strong 
signal quality thus enhancing quality of the end result. This system 
provides an improved impedance control and reliability, lastly, Flex PBC
 reduces the weight and size of the board.

Each of the materials used in the development of Flex PBC
 must meet the demands that are aimed at making it better and long 
lasting. Its base is made of a polymer film that provides the foundation
 for a laminate. This base material acts as the foundation on which the 
whole PBC is built. For bonding, adhesives are used in the creation of a
 laminate. Different polymer families are used to help in the 
withstanding of high temperatures. A metal foil is used as a conductor 
and it creates the circuit paths. Copper foil is most common due to its 
friendly cost and high capacity in conducting currents. Flex PCB is what modern electronic technology is riding on
