Electromagnetic interference (EMI) has become a familiar challenge in flexible PCB design—especially as devices get thinner, faster, and more compact. There’s no single “best” way to block EMI, but several practical shielding approaches have proven reliable across consumer electronics, automotive, medical, and aerospace applications. Among all available choices, three EMI shielding methods stand out as the most widely used and most flexible-friendly:copper layers, shielding f

In the flexible PCB manufacturing process, the black hole process is a crucial step that improves interlayer conductivity and overall product reliability. From a manufacturer’s perspective, this method replaces traditional electroless copper deposition with a cleaner and more stable carbon-based treatment, making it ideal for modern flexible PCB production. What Is the Black Hole Process? The black hole process is a non-metallic conductive hole pretreatment used to create a t

In flexible PCB manufacturing, The function of adhesive is to bond together all the layers of the circuit board. The main types of flexible PCB adhesive are epoxy, acrylic, thermoplastic PI, pressure-sensitive adhesive, and conductive adhesive. Different adhesives are applied in different processes. They all have their own unique characteristics. 1. Lamination Adhesive Lamination adhesives can bond the copper foil to the polyimide film or join multiple flexible printed circui
