Flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs) are becoming increasingly vital in modern electronics due to their ability to bend, fold, and conform to specific shapes, unlike traditional rigid PCBs. These flexible PCBs are constructed using materials like copper for conductivity and polyimide for insulation and flexibility, often incorporating layers such as a base material, copper, adhesive, and coverlay. Their use is widespread across various industries, including smartphones, wearable technology, medical devices, automotive electronics, and aerospace, driven by the trend towards smaller, lighter, and more compact electronic devices.
