Commonly used FPC flexible circuit board unit price affected by what factors

FPC flexible circuit board is made of polyester film or polyester imine, light and thin, high density, high flexibility, can be bent and folded, with other types of circuit boards do not have the advantages. Compared to traditional interconnect technology, FPC flexible circuit board can withstand millions of bending, easy installation, good heat dissipation.

So, soft board price is affected by what factors?

One, FPC flexible circuit board selection of different materials resulting in different prices

For example, ordinary double-sided soft board, board materials generally have PI,PET, etc., plate thickness from 0.0125mm to 0.10mm, copper thickness from 1/3oz to 3oz, all these have caused a great price difference, at the same time, material manufacturers that is different brands also have a certain price difference. This is the price diversity of selection. The material also contains steel sheet, FR4,PIFCCI copper foil reinforcement material auxiliary composition.

Two, FPC flexible circuit board process does not cause the price difference

Different production processes also cause different costs, such as the use of gold, tin or OSP, the precision of the shape, the use of wet film line or dry film line will form different costs, resulting in different prices.

Three, FPC flexible circuit board itself technical difficulty caused by different prices

In the case of requirements and the same process, if we have different design difficulties of flexible circuit board itself, it will also cause different costs. As two kinds of circuit board a board hole, another in the normal range, drilling cost is also different, so formed unfinished lines, such as a line width line spacing greater than 0.1 MM, another is less than 0.1 MM, that will also cause the price difference, because of the difficulty big boards scrap rate is high and the cost will increase, the price is different.

Four, the guest request is different, the price is also different

The level of customer requirements will directly affect the finished product rate of FPC flexible circuit board factory, such as A board according to IPC-A-6013, the qualified rate of 98%, but according to the requirements of class3 may only 90% of the qualified rate, resulting in different costs of FPC flexible circuit board factory, and finally lead to variable product prices.

Five, FPC flexible circuit board manufacturers caused by different price diversity

Even if the same product, but because of different process equipment, technical level, also can form different cost, nowadays a lot of manufacturers like gold plated board production, because the process is simple, low cost, but also a part of the factory production of gold plated board, scrapping the rise, cause cost increase, so they prefer to produce tin plate or tinplate, So their tinjet plate price is lower than the gold plate.

Vi. Price differences caused by different payment methods

At present, FPC flexible circuit board factory will generally adjust the price of flexible circuit board according to the different payment methods, the range is 5%-10%, which also caused the difference in price.

Seven, regional differences cause the diversity of FPC flexible circuit board prices

At present, in terms of geographical location in China, prices are increasing from south to north, and there are certain differences in prices in different regions, so regional differences also cause price diversity.

Eight, electroplating caused by different FPC flexible circuit board prices are not the same

Local plating high overall plating about 15%.

Nine, the gold finger part of the surface treatment

Gold plating and tin plating difference of about 5%

Ten.FPC flexible circuit board in the production process of defective rate also determines the unit price of FPC flexible circuit board

11. The cost of customer SMT and the level of defect rate also determines the unit price of FPC flexible circuit board
