Provide continuous support for the Japanese electronic state policy of FPC ~ response time requirements, grasp the new age movement ~
As the name implies, flexible printed circuit (hereinafter referred to as the "FPC" *) is a kind of flexible bend or flexible circuit wiring material.Because it has a thin, flexible bending properties, greatly promote the electronic machine small, lightweight and thin.With excellent heat resistance, it adopts the reflow soldering (heating soldering process) electronic components of the installation work.Due to resistance buckling repeatedly, it as electronic machine moving parts of the wiring material has become an indispensable exist.In addition, because it greatly saves the machine internal space, thus promoted the design width expanding and highly functional.People will according to the special skill, it is widely used in, including smart phones, mobile phones and digital cameras internal wiring, drive the movable part of the wiring.FPC is various electronic machine evolve, provide continuous support for Japan's economic development an important existence.
In Japan, sumitomo electric group ahead of other companies in the mid - 1960 - s developing FPC, in 1969 began to promote FPC career.Since then, sumitomo electric group response time and the market demand to supply products.After entering the 21st century, sumitomo electric group to electronic machine of lightweight and high functional requirements, such as realized as fine lines of hyperfine loop, speed up the evolution of FPC.And now, FPC enterprises are entering a significant transition period.The key is to "shift from wiring material for functional parts.The career has passed more than half a century, sumitomo electric group of FPC grasps the new age movement, launched a new challenge.
