Flex PCB assembly, we also call flexible PCB assembly which is a technology that deals with the construction of electronic circuits. Electronic components are typically mounted on flexible plastic substrates such as PEEK, polyimide or transparent conductive Mylar. It is totally different of rigid PCB assembly. Both flex PCB assembly and rigid PCB assembly are workable, it depends on the specific needs of your project.
Asia Pacific Circuits provides one-stop flex PCB assembly, including 1-8 layers flex printed circuit fabrication, BOM list procurement, flex PCB assembly, PCBA testing, packaging, etc. Our Flex PCB are widely used in communication, power supply, security, optoelectronics, industrial control, medical equipment, wearable devices, consumer electronics, automotive and other fields.
A) Something we need to do before assembly
1) Ready for FPC Assembly Carrier Fixture
Different from rigid PCB, flex PCB very soft. If without carrier fixture, then the flex PCB cannot be fixed and transmission cannot be completed also including paste printing, SMT assembly and reflow soldering, etc.
2) Flexible printed circuit preprocess
Since flexible printed circuit is very soft, so normally it cannot be packed with vacuum packaging. The FPC is easy to absorb moisture from the air during storage so prebaking is important before assembly otherwise FPC can easily delaminated or blistered under the high-temperature impact of reflow soldering.
B) Flex PCB SMT assembly
After you placed an order with us then we purchase components in advance according to your BOM list at the meantime we 100% inspect the incoming material when components arrived. And then SMT programming, laser stencils making, paste printing, SMT assembly, AOI inspection, reflow soldering and so on.
C) Through-hole PCB assembly
1) Manual and automated placement of components
2) Double wave flow solder
3) Trimming
4) Manual welding after wave soldering
5) Board cleaning
6) Quality check
D) Flex PCBA test
Such as ICT test, FCT test, aging test, fatigue analysis, harsh environments test.
E) Packing and random inspection
We realized random inspection is very important before packing and shipping and of course we also do it for sure. The package can be customized so make sure that you can receive the flexible PCBAs without any damage after long-distance transportation. Meanwhile, our production line can assemble finished product as well if you want.
1) We have more than 10 years’ experience in flexible circuit board fabrication and assembly.
2) We source components from original manufacturer & primary agency with stable supply.
3) We pay high attention on quality control. Pass rate 99.8%.
4) We respond quickly and can give you a quotation also process your order in time.
5) Our engineers can help you improve product design, make it easier for manufacturing and more cost-effective.
