Before going into full production, you need to be sure that your FPC functions as it should. Prototyping is essential to ensure FPCs measure up to your precise specifications, but it can also prevent costly errors. Imagine the disaster of discovering FPC failure after full production; it would entail costs that could have been avoided.

FPCs are an integral part of many electronic devices. Prototype FPCs are useful early in the design process to test functions and ensure that they are working fine. Sometimes, engineers order multiple runs of prototypes if corrections to earlier designs have been made, and retesting is required.

As FPC supplier knows that, surface-mount technology (SMT) means that circuit boards don’t have to be drilled before assembly. The advantage of SMT FPCs includes smaller FPCs, but more importantly, SMT allows the possibility of using EDA, or electronic design automation software. EDA helps to produce superior designs and speed up the prototyping process, with its in-built simulated tests and checks.

We pride ourselves on our design services. All we need from you are your specifications. Getting your specs to us is as easy as filling in a form for a rapid response, comprehensive quote on our site.

SMT can be combined with through-hole construction, if necessary, but customers should be aware that production set-up will be slightly slower since all holes have to be drilled before assembly.
