Kapton PCB Fabrication

Why Do We Employ Kapton Polyimide in our PCBs?

One of the significant purposes of establishing a Kapton polyimide circuitry was to minimize the circuit’s size and form while strengthening its efficiency and longevity.

That leads us to why we should integrate it into standard circuitry. First, it is because of its thermal power consistency.

Secondly, it is because of its enhanced adaptability. It has outstanding mobility and resiliency that typical boards don’t possess.

Finally, it is because of its extreme durability. It can still manage and function despite being exposed to high temperatures and other substances.

Kindly contact us if you have any questions relating to this.

Why Select Kapton PCB Material in Production Process?

Due to their unique thermal resistance property, Kapton PCBs are beneficial in various manufacturing applications. Now, let’s go over some of its other explanations.

It starts by creating flexible circuits that function exceptionally well electrically. Thus, they provide a smooth circulation of electrical impulses.

Secondly, they are essential through both high- and low-density mountain layouts. Consequently, this increases their usage versatility.

Ultimately, the electrical assembly procedure is comparatively more straightforward because of its polyimide material.

Is Kapton PCB Better Than FR-4 PCB?

In this article, we’d like to provide insight and distinctions between an FR-4 PCB and a Kapton PCB. At the end of the article, you’ll recognize the ideal option for you.

  • Tensile Strength – Compared to FR4 PCB, Kapton PCB has a tensile strength of roughly 231 MPa. Kapton, which produces a firmer PCB than FR4, is therefore suited for most optoelectronic devices.
  • Functionality and Durability – Due to Kapton’s robust nature, they are preferred in a wide array of operations.
  • Heat Resistance – Although both boards are flame resistant, the Kapton has more of an edge. Despite the FR4 being resistant to flame, its heat dissipation isn’t remarkable. Also, in terms of thermal cycling, Kapton wins.
  • Integration Efficiency – If incorporation is desired, the FR-4 boards won’t work. The ideal option is the versatile Kapton board; it can be altered into any appropriate shape.
Which Types of Polyimides are Deployed in Kapton PCB?

Kapton PCBs come in various varieties, each with unique benefits. The principal ones are as follows:

  • Pure Polyimides – Innumerable chemicals and halogenated flame retardants are absent from second-generation polyimides. As a result, they are significantly more thermally stable than the majority of polyimides used nowadays.
  • Third (3rd) Generation Polyimides – They have flammability resistance-boosting compounds that make them helpful in dampening out electrical fires.
  • Filled Polyimides – They contain a polyimide and a filler. The filler guarantees low epoxy contraction, preventing gaps from forming during drilling and setting.
  • Low-Flow Polyimides – They are less flexible because they contain a range of fillers, including circulation dampers and resins.
