The development of FPC and PCB has given birth to the soft and hard combination board, which has both characteristics. Thanks to the comprehensive advantages of PCB and FPC, the soft and hard combination board has been widely used in electronic products. Driven by 5G, the soft and hard composite boards have developed rapidly in the circuit board industry, and the market demand has also been growing in recent years.

Advantages and disadvantages of the soft and hard combination board?

Advantages: The soft and hard bonding board has the characteristics of FPC and PCB at the same time. Therefore, it can be used in some products with special requirements, including certain flexible areas and certain rigid areas. It can greatly help to save the internal space of the product, reduce the volume of the finished product and improve the product performance.

Disadvantages: There are many production processes for soft and hard bonding plates, which are difficult to produce, low yield rate, and more materials and manpower. Therefore, the price is expensive and the production cycle is long.

What are the advantages of using laser cutting machine to cut soft and hard bonding plates?

The production cost of soft and hard composite plates is relatively high, so high-quality processing equipment is required to avoid the occurrence of bad plates.

Using laser cutting machine to cut soft and hard bonding plates can effectively improve the signal quality; To increase reliability, FPCs need to be connected through connectors, and the installation is easy to short-circuit, which also brings about installation costs, etc. Although the cost per unit area of the soft and hard combination board is increased compared with that of the hard board, the soft and hard combination board also reduces other costs, such as connectors, installation time, fault tolerance, etc. The comprehensive calculation of the performance price ratio of the soft and hard combination board will be higher.
