FPC Membrane Switch Subassemblies
FPC flexible circuit boards are a type of highly reliable and extremely flexible printed circuit board made using polyimide or polyester film as the base material. Abbreviated as FPC or flex circuits, they are characterized by high wiring density, lightweight, and thin thickness.
Flexible Printed Circuit Boards (FPC), commonly known as "flex circuits" in the industry, are printed circuit boards made using flexible insulating substrates (mainly polyimide or polyester film). They possess many advantages that rigid printed circuit boards do not have. For example, they can be freely bent, wound, and folded. Consequently, FPCs are widely used in aerospace, military, mobile communications, laptops, computer peripherals, PDAs, digital cameras, and other fields or products.

● Medical instruments and equipment;
● Military weaponry;
● Aerospace controllers and equipment;
● Marine vessels and offshore operation platforms and tools;
● Rail transit equipment;
● Products used in high temperature, high humidity, high corrosion, and high acidity/alkalinity environments;
● Products used in outdoor environments;
● Other products requiring high quality, high stability, and reliability;
● When PET circuits cannot make circuit trace layout, double-sided FPC is usually needed;
● When a large number of LED light-emitting components need to be assembled on the circuit, it is recommended to use FPC or PCB circuits to improve its reliability and stability.
Like PCB circuits, LuphiTouch® can also provide UL-certified FPCs as the circuit layer for membrane switches. Customers can make a comprehensive decision on the choice of circuit based on their product's actual positioning, usage environment, lifespan, target market price sensitivity, and other factors.
