Why Flexible Printed Circuits?

Flexible printed circuits are used in a wide variety of applications and solve an astounding array of problems. FPCs improve a product's size and weight, reduce time for final assembly or service, and can eliminate the cost of connectors. In addition, electrical parameters are tightly controlled allowing for a low signal to noise ratio. Controlled impedance and thermal management are keystones using this technology.
