フレキシブルPCBのアプリケーション

名前が示すように、フレキシブルPCBには物理的な柔軟性があります。 これらのPCBは、柔軟性により回路基板が振動に耐えることができるため、機械的に敏感なデバイスで広く使用されています。 フレキシブルPCBは、従来の回路基板よりも耐久性がありますが、フレキシブルPCB製造プロセスは敏感で複雑です。

Due to the light weight of the design, the circuit board can be shaped according to the housing, which can fit into a small volume, and the overall size of the final product can be reduced. flexible PCB eliminates the excessive use of wiring harnesses and connectors in the PCB.

Application

Rigid plates add some restrictions in product design because they cannot be installed in a limited space. Circuit boards need to be vibration resistant in products that are often subjected to mechanical shock.

フレキシブルPCB are more suitable for this situation because they can be bent and wrapped if needed. They can survive the harsh temperature of -200 to 400 degrees Celsius. Compared with traditional circuit boards, these functions make flexible circuit boards more reliable and durable.

Computers and accessories

Flexible PCB is very powerful in terms of signals and atmospheric conditions. The hard drive in the computer contains Flexible PCB. Because these PCB provides high data transfer rates on physically small circuit boards. Other electronic devices such as printers, calculators and laptop LCDs are usually designed with flexible PCBs for similar reasons.

Aircraft

Aircraft electronic systems are often filled with cables and are light in weight. A typical Airbus contains nearly 100 kilometers of cable, while a helicopter contains about 12 kilometers of cable. There is no compromise on the reliability and performance of aircraft systems. The flexible PCB reduces weight and can be significantly improved even when subjected to mechanical shocks, making it an ideal choice for aircraft.

Car

Over time, automotive products have become more compact. Flexible PCB add compactness to their design. Because regardless of shape, these PCBs can be placed in a limited space and still work efficiently. Flexible PCB enables designers to produce lightweight products while maintaining product performance.

Flexible PCBs are commonly used in engine management computers, airbag controllers and other electronic components of automotive products. Since automobiles are often exposed to high temperatures, which is tolerable for flexible PCBs, these circuit boards have modern automotive products.

Cell phone

The mobile phone is small in size, but has many functions. Ever wondered how to design dense circuits in such a compact housing? The flexible PCB can realize the synchronization of multiple components, while requiring the least space.

Connecting wiring harnesses or rigid boards for synchronizing components is disadvantageous because of the limited size and shape of mobile phones. In addition, mobile phones will heat up, and traditional circuit boards cannot withstand high temperatures. In addition, フレキシブルPCBに also added waterproof function in the design.

Today, mobile phones and digital books are developing flexible PCBs, which is a major technological breakthrough. Imagine packaging a mobile phone or bending the pages of a digital book? It is not possible to use rigid PCBs. With the advancement of technology, flexible PCBs are also constantly developing, and we hope that in the near future, we will be able to bend the phone like a page.

Medical electronics

医療用電子製品は、高精度で耐久性のあるものである必要があります。 現在開発中のウェアラブルデバイスは、通常、フレキシブルPCBを使用して開発されており、その柔軟性により、ホストでの使用に適しています。

今日、ウェアラブルデバイスは健康状態を追跡するために使用されており、これらのガジェットは非常にコンパクトで洗練されています。 フレキシブルPCBは、患者の皮膚にセンサーを埋め込むことができ、結果はスマートウォッチまたは携帯電話で監視できます。 ウェアラブル医療機器のこの革命は、柔軟なPCBによってもたらされます。

多くの場合、医療機器を人体の内部に配置する必要があります。 たとえば、心臓ペースメーカーやピルカメラは極端な大気条件にさらされることが多く、この状況には柔軟なPCBが最適です。

Rigid PCBs are bulky and cannot adopt shape changes and low performance during high signal transmission, which makes them unfavorable for medical electronic products.

Recent research on Flexible PCBs has allowed scientists to develop Flexible PCBs that are more suitable for medical devices. These PCBs are developed using organic materials to provide more suitable quality for prosthetic components. Compared with flexible traditional PCBs, these circuit boards are more flexible, which is exciting for the development of high-performance prostheses.

Sensor

Flexible PCBs have revolutionized sensors. Modern sensors are manufactured on flexible PCBs, which reduces their size. These sensors can be placed in limited and irregular spaces, suitable for design or more compact products.

Military equipment

Most modern military equipment uses フレキシブルPCB such as radar systems in military vehicles. The control system in military grade equipment requires high signal and robustness of the conductive path. Because equipment must be used at extreme temperatures, weather conditions often make it difficult to withstand rigid PCBs. In addition, military equipment is often affected by vibration and mechanical stress, which is easily tolerated by flexible PCBs. For these reasons, flexible PCB is best suited for military equipment.
