Flexible Printed Circuit FPC on PET with
White Solder Mask
(Flexible
printed circuits are custom-made products, the picture and parameters shown are
just for reference)
General Information:
The FPC is coating with
white solder mask and immersion gold on pads. The pads are bulged for the
printer applications.

Covercoat
/ Solder Mask:
Solder
mask in flexible PCB is different from rigid board, it is usually a polyimide
film coated on one side with a semi-cured and non-tacky adhesive, we call it
covercoat in flexible circuit. It is laminated to the flexible circuit under
heat and pressure, so that the copper pattern is fully encapsulated except for
the solder pads that are exposed through access holes in the covercoat.
The
covercoat production sheet should be cut slightly smaller than the flexible
circuit production sheet to avoid premature edge sealing, which could trap air
bubbles in the package.
The
production sheet for the covercoat is provided with tooling holes in close
register with the tooling holes in the production sheet for the flexible
circuit. The access holes are usually drilled, but in the case of high-volume
production, punching is more cost-effective.
In
principle, drilling of the covercoat is accomplished in the same way as when
drilling rigid boards, i.e., a number of covercoat sheets are stacked, either
5-up or 10-up. The drilling parameters, however, are somewhat different,
because of the polyimide material and the absence of copper foil, which otherwise
could have removed some of the heat from the holes being drilled.
When
drilling/punching large covercoat production sheets, it is necessary to
compensate for the dimensional changes of the flexible circuit production
sheet, which can amount to as much as 0.2%.
