The Fast FPC Prototyping Process
Stage 1: Component Sourcing
We source all components through authorized distributors. For low volume PCB assembly, we support small-quantity procurement without minimum order requirements.
Stage 2: FPC Pre-Bake
Flexible circuits are pre-baked to remove moisture—critical for preventing delamination during reflow.
Stage 3: Carrier Fixture
Custom carriers are fabricated for each FPC design. Standard carrier materials are maintained for expedited availability.
Stage 4: SMT Assembly
12 SMT lines with dedicated prototype team. FPC placement parameters optimized for speed and accuracy.
Stage 5: Controlled Reflow
Low-temperature reflow profiles—protect polyimide substrates while achieving reliable solder joints.
Stage 6: Quality Inspection
AOI, X-Ray, Flying Probe—100% coverage. Inspection documentation available per board.
Stage 7: Final Assembly & Shipping
Careful handling; anti-static packaging; expedited shipping.
