What is FPC?
FPC, flexible pcb printed circuit, which is a circuit board mainly composed of CU (Copperfoil), A (Adhesive) and PI (Kapton, Polyimide). It has manyadvantages such as space saving, weight reduction and high flexibility, whichhas a wide range of applications in production and life, and the market is stillexpanding.
