China's mainstream multilayer flexible PCBs have three to six layers, and 2, 3 and 4mil minimum line width and spacing.
Flexible PCBs with three to six layers constitute more than 90 percent of mainland China's supply of multilayer flexible boards, and those exceeding 10 layers the rest.
Typical models have 1.4, 1.6, 2, 2.5, 3 or 4mil minimum line width and spacing, with 2, 3 and 4mil the most common. Holes sizes are 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25 and 0.3mm. Surface finish options include gold and tin plating, ENIG, immersion tin and OSP.
Makers source materials from local providers, mainly Shengyi and Grace, and Taiwan companies such as Taiflex, ThinFlex, AEM and Microcosm. They also turn to Japan's Arisawa, Nippon Steel and Nitto Denko for FCCLs to comply with buyers' requests.
Due to competition, prices will remain unchanged until this year's end despite rising labor cost.
