Flexible Circuit Board P-Flex® improves the Thermal Response Time of Temperature Sensor ICs and Thermistors
P-Flex® flexible circuit boards can improve the thermal response time of temperature sensor ICs and thermistors, enabling quicker control in temperature-triggered equipment like air conditioners. Using flexible substrates reduces thermal mass and improves thermal response time, allowing for energy savings, lower electricity costs, improved comfort, and equipment malfunction detection. Separating the temperature sensor from the main board reduces heat influence, and flexible PCBs can extend measurement distance.
【Advantages of Using P-Flex®】Increase the frequency response of MEMS microphones with flexible substrates
Advantages of Using P-Flex® for MEMS Microphones MEMS microphones are used in various electronic devices including smartphones because of their small size and suitability for mass production. Most of them are surface-mount type and are mounted on PCBs. Types of MEMS Microphones: Top Port Type and Bottom Port Type MEMS microphones have a small hole in the case to capture sound. If the hole is on the top cover side, it is called a top-port type, and if it is on the PCB side, it is called a bottom- […]
