Smart health assistant Rigid-Flex PCB (FPCB)

Überblick

This Smart health assistant requires a smaller and thinner product to fit tightly to the body, and can detect the body’s blood pressure and heartbeat data in real time. daher, Starr-Flex-Leiterplatte (FPCB) is required to meet the product requirements.

Advantages of Rigid-Flex PCB (FPCB)

Space Savings and Cost Reduction

1. It can effectively save PCB space and save the use of connectors or HotBar manufacturing process.
   • Because the Rigid-Flex PCB (FPCB) is already integrated, the space that originally needed to use the connector or HotBar process can be saved.
   • For some PCBs with high-density requirements, one less connector is needed.
   • This also saves the cost of parts using the connector or the cost of the HotBar process.
   • Zusätzlich, the space between the two PCBs can be made tighter by eliminating the need for connectors.

Improved Signal Transmission Reliability

2. The signal transmission distance is shortened and the speed is increased, which can effectively improve the reliability.
   • The traditional signal transmission through the connector is “PCB-connector-FPC-connector-PCB”, while with Rigid-Flex PCB (FPCB), the signal transmission is reduced to “PCB-FPC-PCB”.
   • The problem of signal transmission attenuation between different media is also reduced.
   • For some Products with higher signal accuracy requirements, Starr-Flex-Leiterplatte (FPCB) can help improve their reliability.

Simplified Product Assembly

3. Simplify product assembly and save assembly man-hours.
   • Using Rigid-Flex PCB (FPCB) can reduce the man-hours of SMT parts, because the number of connectors is reduced.
   • It also reduces the man-hours for assembly of the whole machine, because it eliminates the assembly action of inserting the FPC into the connector, or eliminates the HotBar manufacturing process.
   • It also reduces the cost of parts management and inventory, because the BOM is reduced, so the management becomes less.

Other Advantages

1. It is flexible and can be wired three-dimensionally, and the shape can be changed according to space constraints.
2. High and low temperature resistance, flame resistance.
3. Foldable without affecting the signal transmission function.
4. It can prevent electrostatic interference.
5. Stable chemical changes, stability, und hohe Zuverlässigkeit.
6. Facilitate the design of related products, reduce assembly man-hours and errors, and increase the service life of related products.
7. The volume of the application product is reduced, the weight is greatly reduced, the function is increased, and the cost is reduced.
