FPC has single sided flexible PCB board, double sided flex circuit PCB, multi-layer Flex PCB and Rigid-flex PCB circuit board. The flex PCB material is polymide FCCL and it has high heat resistance and stable size. Following are the common layer structure and stack up for Flex circuit PCB for your reference. The FPC final thickness could be adjusted flexibly with different thicknesses of PI, adhesive, copper, etc.
