Joint More tells you the difference and relationship between PCB, FPC and FFC.

PCB is printed circuit board, or hard board, Chinese name is printed circuit board, also known as printed circuit board, printed circuit board, is an important electronic component, is the support body of electronic components, is the provider of electrical connection of electronic components. Because it is made by electronic printing, it is called "printed" circuit board.

FPC is Flexible circuit board, referred to as "soft board ", also known as" Flexible circuit board ", also known as "Flexible circuit board" or "Flexible circuit board ", English is "FPC PCB" or "FPCB,Flexible and Rigid Flex".

FFC is a new type of data Cable made of PET insulation material and extremely thin tin plated Flat copper wire pressed together through the production line of high-tech automation equipment. It has the advantages of softness, arbitrary bending and folding, thin thickness, small size, simple connection, convenient disassembly, easy to solve electromagnetic shielding (EMI) and so on.

In general: PCB is hard, not foldable, can be distributed components; FPC is soft, flexible, and deployable.
