The Rapid FPC Assembly Process
Stage 1: Component Sourcing
We source components through authorized distributors. For low volume PCB assembly, we support small-quantity procurement with competitive pricing. Incoming inspection ensures component authenticity and specification compliance.
Stage 2: FPC Pre-Treatment
Flexible circuits undergo pre-baking to remove moisture—preventing delamination during reflow. Drying times optimized for rapid processing.
Stage 3: Carrier Mounting
FPCs are precisely mounted onto carriers using tooling pins and hold-down mechanisms. Carriers provide the mechanical stability required for accurate solder paste printing and component placement.
Stage 4: SMT Assembly
12 fully automated SMT lines with optimized FPC placement parameters—reduced nozzle pressure, controlled placement speed, and fine-pitch capability.
Stage 5: Controlled Reflow
Low-temperature reflow profiles protect polyimide substrates while achieving reliable solder joints. Nitrogen reflow available for critical applications.
Stage 6: Quality Inspection
100% inspection coverage: AOI for component placement; X-Ray for hidden BGA/QFN joints; ICT and Flying Probe for electrical verification. Dynamic bend testing available.
Stage 7: Final Assembly & Shipping
Careful demounting; anti-static packaging; expedited shipping with tracking.
