Impedance matching FPCs
Optimum for high speed transmission and improved equipment performance
Along with the appearance of high speed transmission circuits in recent years, characteristic impedance is becoming increasingly important.
Oki Electric Cable can perform characteristic impedance matching by appropriately combining conductor width, distance between conductors, material thickness, and type of material.
Earth friendly FPCs
We offer environmentally friendly FPCs.
In recent years, we have been engaged in environmental issues in our overall lifestyle.
We have a lineup of low outgassing FPCs which meet RoHS and can be used even in a vacuum, as environmentally friendly products.
1. FPCs that meet RoHS
We now offer products made by gold plating and the use of lead-free solder instead of the conventional leaded solder. Particularly, we use our own facilities for gold plating, so we can control and guarantee the quality of the entire FPC process.
2. Liquid crystal polymer material FPCs
Liquid crystal polymer is a generic term for wholly aromatic polyester polymers.
Features
- Highfrequency electrical characteristics (low dielectric constant, low dielectric dissipation factor)
High speed transmission is possible - Water absorption resistance (approx. 40 times that of polyimide)
---Can be used in a location where it is exposed to water or moisture. - Low outgassing performance (0.03WVR%)
---Can be used in a vacuum. - Flame retardant, chemical resistance, etc.

Long FPCs
Light, multi-wiring module for large equipment
We can make FPCs10 m long without joints Particularly, these long flexible FPCs feature thinness, lightness and softness, making them suitable for multiple wiring in large equipment.
Because there are no joints, the FPC remains electrically stable in applications where it is flexed.

Multi-layer FPCs
Optimum for multi-wiring in light, short and small equipment
High function is being demanded along with the increasingthinness and compactness of equipment and products in recent years. Amulti-layer FPC can be wired in confined spaces. Because it is of a multi-layerconstruction, it is ideal for multi-wiring. Multi-layer FPCs can be produced invarious configurations.
Oki Electric Cable makes optimum proposals to customers fromseveral kinds of configuration patterns.

Flex-rigid board
Integration of flexible PC and rigid PC board
We have combined the softness of the FPC with the mounting stability of a rigid PC board. the resulting connector-less assembly (the cost of components and the work of purchasing and managing them are rendered unnecessary) enables man-hours to be reduced.
Also, because the flex-rigid board is integrated by means of through holes, it features high electrical reliability.
