Background technology
Flexible PCB (Flexible Printed Circuit, FPC) claim flexible electric circuit board or flexible circuit board again, it can be scratched at three dimensions changes assembling, and has advantages such as light, thin, short, little, be widely used in various electronic products, as mobile phone, disc unit and notebook computer etc.
For making things convenient for mounted with electronic components, flexible PCB is provided with stiffening plate in the electronic component portion of mounting, to improve the mechanical strength that electronic component mounts portion.If need the electronic component portion of mounting is done anti-electromagnetic interference design, then form the naked copper district, and adopt conducting resinl to be loaded on the one side that the electronic component portion of mounting has the naked copper district with stiffening plate is sticking at the edge that electronic component mount portion, stiffening plate then adopts the metal reinforcement plate.So, the electronic component naked copper district that mounts portion just is electrically connected to the metal reinforcement plate by conducting resinl.During use, with the metal reinforcement plate earthing, make the electrical ground connection in naked copper district, the naked copper district formation electrostatic shielding cover that metal reinforcement plate and electronic component mount the portion edge will mount portion around electronic component, just can suppress the external electric magnetic source mounts portion to electronic component interference.In addition, the electric channel that naked copper district, conducting resinl and metal reinforcement plate constitute also can be used as the heat dissipation channel that electronic component mounts portion, takes away the heat that the electronic component portion of mounting produces.
Yet, adopt the anti-electromagnetic interference design of conducting resinl to have following problem: 1) to adopt the gluing dress of conduction to be difficult to guarantee that the naked copper district well contacts with the metal reinforcement plate; 2) flexible PCB processing needs through reflow stove soldering of electronic components, and this process will cause the conductivity of conducting resinl and thermal conductivity to worsen; 3) conducting resinl is shorter useful life, and its conductive capability and the capacity of heat transmission increase in time and worsens.To sum up, adopt conducting resinl to prevent the anti-electromagnetic interference capability and the heat-sinking capability instability, unreliable of the flexible PCB of electromagnetic interference design.
