Panels (See FPC Panel Design Guide)

① Spacing between boards is commonly 2 mm. For boards with metal stiffeners use 3 mm instead.

② Handling edges of width 5 mm required on all four sides. Copper pour is required on these edges, with 1 mm clearance around fiducials and 0.5 mm clearance around tooling holes.

③ Fiducials: 1 mm; tooling holes: 2 mm; Fiducial centre to board edge: 3.85 mm. Add four fiducials with one offset by 5 mm or more to aid orientation.

④ Support tab width: 0.7-1.0 mm

Panels
Stiffeners (Detailed Introduction)
PI Stiffener
Thickness options: 0.1 mm, 0.15 mm, 0.20 mm, 0.225 mm, 0.25 mm
PI stiffeners are most often used with gold finger connectors. For example if the connector needs to be 0.3 mm thick on a 0.11 mm FPC, a 0.225 mm stiffener thickness is most suitable.
FR4 Stiffener
Thickness options: 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm
FR4 is usually only used on low-end products because it is prone to chipping. Avoid if possible.
Stainless Steel Stiffener
Thickness options: 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm
Steel stiffeners cost more but have excellent flatness and do not easily deform. This makes them good as support under SMD components. Note that since steel is slightly magnetic it should not be used with hall effect sensors or similar components.
3M Tape

3M9077 (0.05 mm thick; heat-resistant)

3M468 (0.13 mm thick; not heat-resistant)

Usually used to secure FPCs after assembly
EM Shielding Film
18 μm thick, black. Helps lower EMC. The recommended practice is to add soldermask openings over edge guard rails to electrically connect them to the shield films.
EM Shielding Film
Design Considerations
Impedance Calculation

Core polyimide εr: 3.3

Coverlay εr: 2.9

Core polyimide thickness: 25 μm

Impedance measurement and control are not yet supported. Traces are only controlled for width and the customer is responsible for choosing trace widths to achieve their impedance requirements.
Other FPC Software
For compatibility on the layer types, include the outlines of the coverlay openings, stiffener outlines, and any other features in the design files. These should be included as separate layers in the Gerber output.
Other Design Constraints
Same requirements as rigid PCBs in terms of holes, traces, clearances, and silkscreen.
Gerber File Naming Convention
We recommend using standard Gerber file extensions as listed in the design guidelines. If you use non-standard file extensions we will still process your order but the risk of mistakes in layer stackup increases and processing time may be longer.
