Flex PCB stiffeners are available in a range of types to suit the particular requirements of your project. The following are a few of the most popular kinds of stiffeners:
Polyimide stiffeners: Durable, heat-resistant materials that are ideal for use in applications that require a high degree of flexibility.
FR-4 stiffeners: Constructed from FR-4 epoxy resin with glass fiber reinforcement that offers great strength and endurance.
Steel stiffeners: Provides excellent strength and durability. Ideal for use in applications that are exposed to harsh environments.
Adhesive-backed stiffeners: Comes with an adhesive backing that allows for easy attachment to the flexible printed circuit.
Flex PCB stiffeners are essential to the design of printed circuit boards. These thin, lightweight materials are used to reinforce and support flexible printed circuit boards, which are known for their ability to bend and twist without breaking.
In order to prevent damage to the circuit board, stiffeners provide additional support and rigidity that may be advantageous in applications that need repeated bending or flexing.
Stiffeners can also provide additional protection to the board and the components mounted on it, helping to prevent damage from vibration, shock, and other external factors.
With the help of high-quality stiffeners, designers can achieve maximum design flexibility and performance, ensuring that their projects meet the highest standards of quality and reliability.
Welcome to our FAQ section, where we’ve compiled answers to many commonly asked questions. If you have any additional queries, please leave us a message.
Kapton is one of the conventional polyimides used as PCB stiffeners. Kapton is frequently used when the flex ends need to be thickened before being inserted into a ZIF connector.
This is an additional layer of rigid material that is added to a flexible printed circuit board (PCB) to provide extra mechanical support, rigidity and stability to the circuit board.
The unique application and needs will determine the thickness of a flex PCB stiffener. A PCB stiffener typically ranges in thickness from 0.2mm to 1.0mm. Thinner stiffeners are used for applications where space is limited, and the additional support is minimal, while thicker stiffeners are used for applications where more rigidity and support are required.
The common laminate thickness is typically in the range of 0.010″, 0.031″, 0.047″, or 0.062″.
Attachment available are Thermally Bonded with Flex Adhesive and Pressure Sensitive Adhesive.
The average +/- 0.002″ finger area bend thickness tolerance and +/- 0.003″ width profile.
In order to provide direct access to solder pads for plated-through hole components, it is crucial that the stiffeners be positioned on the same side of the flexible PCB as the components.
To reduce tension, stiffeners should be placed over the coverlay. For flex PCBs, the coverlay serves as a solder resist.
