Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) Interface Board for Medical Devices

Introduction to FPC interface board

The FPC interface refers to the flexible printed circuit board interface. The FPC interface features high flexibility, foldability, and low impedance, and it is composed of a multi – layer structure. By transforming the overall structure of the circuit hardware into a flexible design, it restores the functions of the printed circuit board, improves the transmission speed and connectivity, and can establish a smoother data transmission channel. In addition, it also has good anti – interference ability. Its compact design can make full use of the circuit board space and provide more efficient functions for the device. Using the FPC interface connector can also expand different functions, such as adjusting different data transmission speeds, which is suitable for scenarios with high requirements for data transmission speed. Meanwhile, it has excellent safety and stability, fully ensuring the reliability of data transmission. It also allows designers to arrange the circuit board more freely at the physical level, reducing the size and weight and increasing the freedom of physical design. Moreover, the FPC interface can be quickly installed and disassembled, facilitating the maintenance and update of the device.

Application in medical devices

Medical monitoring instruments

In devices such as electrocardiogram monitors, blood pressure monitors, and blood glucose meters, flexible printed circuit (FPC) interface boards are used for sensor connection and signal transmission, which can stably and efficiently transmit human physiological data to the processing unit of the device for analysis and display.

Handheld medical devices

Devices such as portable ultrasound equipment and endoscopes have complex electronic components inside. Flexible printed circuit (FPC) interface boards can achieve the connection between these components and, thanks to their flexible characteristics, adapt to the compact space and complex structure inside the devices.

Implantable medical devices

For example, devices such as cardiac pacemakers and nerve stimulators utilize the biocompatibility and flexibility of flexible printed circuit (FPC) interface boards to adapt to the internal environment of the human body, ensuring that these devices operate stably in the body and have good compatibility with human tissues.

Production and quality requirements

The production of medical FPC interface boards requires strict processes and high-quality equipment. Taking Shenlian Circuit as an example, it has a full set of imported automated production lines and its own various surface treatment equipment. The company has invested 5 billion yuan to introduce Mitsubishi fully automatic laser drilling machines, Japanese Screen automatic optical inspection equipment (AOI), exposure machines, FPC black hole lines, etc. In addition, it has specially equipped 20 Japanese Yamaha SMT production lines, which can reduce the supply chain links.

During the production process, relevant standards such as the ISO13485 international quality management system standard must be strictly implemented. Imported testing equipment such as the American Dionex ICS – 900 ion chromatography tester and temperature cycling test equipment will also be equipped to ensure that the products have high reliability and stability. In addition, strict control will be carried out in accordance with the IPC standard, and the quality PDCA process will be implemented to ensure the qualified rate of the products leaving the factory.

Market-related products

In the market, there are numerous products related to FPC interface boards for medical devices. For example, on the world – leading procurement and wholesale platform, there are various FPC/FFC flexible cable series products, including FFC cable sockets, FPC board – to – board connectors, FFC flat cable interfaces, FPC cable supporting connectors, etc. These products can be applied to medical devices to meet the connection and data transmission needs of different medical devices.
