	Stiffener:
	
	In
many applications where there are components soldered, the flexible boards require
external stiffeners (Stiffener, also known as the reinforcing board) for
external support. The stiffener materials are PI or Polyester film, glass
fiber, polymer materials, steel foil, aluminum shim and so on.
	
	(1)PI
or Polyester
	PI
and polyester films are commonly used stiffener materials for flexible circuit
board. The commonly used thickness is 125μm (5mil), some hardness can be
obtained.
	       
	(2)Glass
fibers
	Glass
fibers (such as FR-4), which are also commonly used materials for stiffeners.
The fiber glass stiffener has a higher hardness than that of PI or Polyester,
used where the requirements of harness is higher. The thickness range is
typically 125μm (5mil) to 3.175mm (125mils). However, its processing is
relatively difficult than PI, and may not be a standing material for some FPC
factories.    
	             
	(3)Polymer
	Polymer,
such as plastic, etc. is also used as stiffeners.
	Its
water absorption is low, with high pressure and high temperature resistance.  
	     
	(4)Steel
foil, aluminum shim
	The support
hardness of steel foil, aluminum shim is high, the heat can also be dissipated.
The hardness or heat dissipation in the design is the main concern.
