FPC Trace Pattern Layout Design Notices (software circuit design notes)

A number of software board (Fpcb/flex Cable) manufacturing plants were organized to design the circuit design guide to avoid quality problems.

1.relationship between Through Hole, land , Cover Film, and Cover Coat

	Not Recommended (no suggestions)	Recommended (suggestion)
	Through-hole welding mattress must be used cover film Cover in order to avoid the use of: 'd fall.
2.	Circuit Pattern Guidance
	Not Recommended (no suggestions)	Recommended (suggestion)
	Avoid sudden expansion or reduction in pattern width. No sharp angle.	Avoid sudden changes in the width of the line or small, and should not have a sharp angle .
3.	Design at Folding Area
	Not Recommended (no suggestions)	Recommended (suggestion)
	If the FPC need to is folded then the folding area shall is covered with cover film to prevent trace breaking.	If the board has the need to bend, it is suggested that cover Film must cover the bend to avoid line break.
	Avoid Folding at below locations A. The change of pattern width. B. Folding parallel to the pattern.	Avoid the following bends and methods: A. Where the line width changes. B. Parallel line Bend.
4.	Plating Leads
	Not Recommended (no suggestions)	Recommended (suggestion)
	Plating leads and disconnection holes should be designed as illustrated in order to avoid short circuits.	The neighboring route should be opened with maximum angle to avoid short circuits.
5.	Connector Terminal
