Smart health assistant Rigid-Flex PCB (FPCB)

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. Therefore, Rigid-Flex PCB (FPCB) is required to meet the product requirements.

Rigid-Flex PCB (FPCB) has many advantages

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. Space is like picking up a treasure. This also saves the cost of parts using the connector or the cost of the HotBar process. In addition, the space between the two PCBs can be made tighter by eliminating the need for connectors. 

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 Rigid-Flex PCB (FPCB), (recognized Quasi-ipcb, superb technology and rich experience. Rigid-Flex PCB (FPCB), ipcb has focused on the fpc industry for many years and is a professional high-precision flexible circuit). The signal transmission is reduced to "PCB-FPC-PCB", and the signal transmission distance becomes shorter The problem of signal transmission attenuation between different media is also reduced. Generally, the circuit on the PCB is made of copper, while the contact terminals of the connector are gold-plated, and the solder pins are fully tin-plated, and solder paste is required. Soldered on the PCB, the signal transmission between different media will inevitably be attenuated. If you switch to Rigid-Flex PCB (FPCB), these media will become less, and the signal transmission ability can be relatively improved. For some Products with higher signal accuracy requirements can help improve their reliability. 

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.

The Rigid-Flex PCB(FPCB) has other advantages:

4. It is flexible and can be wired three-dimensionally, and the shape can be changed according to space constraints.

5. High and low temperature resistance, flame resistance.

6. Foldable without affecting the signal transmission function.

7. It can prevent electrostatic interference.

8. Stable chemical changes, stability, and high reliability.

9. Facilitate the design of related products, reduce assembly man-hours and errors, and increase the service life of related products.

10. The volume of the application product is reduced, the weight is greatly reduced, the function is increased, and the cost is reduced.
