Flat Flexible Circuits (FFC)
Materials
FFC with Connector and Crimp Pin Assembly
Conductors
Copper is the most widely used conductor and it is typically flat, allowing extended flex life. Copper conductor options include:
- Bare copper
- Tin plated copper
Adhesives
Adhesive selection depends on customer needs and conductor thickness. Common adhesives include:
- Pressure Sensitive Adhesives
- Acrylic
Insulators
Flexible substrate (base) and cover lay materials are available in a variety of thicknesses. Common insulators include:
- Polyester
- PEN
- PET
Finishes
The final finish depends on each customer’s assembly requirements and the application of the finished product. Common finishes include:
- Tin
Shielding
A protective shielding layer can be applied if required. Common shielding materials include:
- Conductive silver ink
- Aluminum or copper tape
