Analysis of the difference between PCB and FPC

During the PCBA processing process, you will hear from colleagues PCB boards and FPC soft boards. FPC soft boards generally require fixed fixtures during processing, and subsequent AOI inspections also require fixed fixtures for inspection. So what is the difference between PCB and FPC?

PCBA processing

PCB board is a kind of printed board, also called hard board, which cannot be bent or flexed. It is the carrier for electrical interconnection of electrical components. It has the characteristics of high density, designability, producibility, testability, Advantages of assembly and maintainability. Widely used in various types of electronic products. FPC boards, also known as flexible circuit boards, are popular for their light weight, thin thickness, free bending and folding. It can be moved and expanded at will according to the spatial layout requirements to achieve three-dimensional assembly and achieve the effect of integrating component assembly and wire connection. It has advantages that other types of circuit boards cannot match. However, relying on manual visual inspection is costly and inefficient.
