Covercoat / Solder Mask

In flexible PCBs, the solder mask, often referred to as covercoat, is typically a polyimide film coated with a semi-cured adhesive. This covercoat is laminated to the flexible circuit under heat and pressure, encapsulating the copper pattern while exposing the solder pads through access holes. The covercoat production sheet is cut slightly smaller than the flexible circuit sheet to avoid premature edge sealing, which could trap air bubbles.


For high-volume production, punching is more cost-effective than drilling. However, when drilling, it is necessary to compensate for dimensional changes in the flexible circuit sheet, which can be as much as 0.2%.


Conclusion

The White FPC Flexible Printed Circuit is a high-performance, cost-effective solution designed for applications requiring both flexibility and aesthetic appeal. With its excellent flexibility, increased reliability, and low cost, it is an ideal choice for engineers working on capacitive touch screens, industrial control systems, and consumer electronics.
