What is the record for the longest or largest PCB in the world?

The world’s longest PCB is about 72 meters in length, made by Trackwise Designs. The multi-layer FPC (flexible printed circuit) is made using polyimide base laminate with copper elements. They also held previous records at 52 meters & 25 meters.

With a 72m length for an industrial application, Trackwise Designs has surpassed its own record for the longest multi-layer flexible printed circuit (FPC) in the world.

What is the flexible printed circuit (FPC) made of?

Polyimide base laminate containing copper elements is used to build the FPC, and it is completed with an organo-metallic layer to prevent oxidation.The final circuit has a copper thickness consistency of ±5µm which was from the patented ‘Improved Harness Technology’ (IHT).The reel-to-reel copper plating makes it defined and the tightly controlled layer to layer resistance (as thin as possible) for the flexibility in the end product.

“We are delighted to have smashed our previous 2020 record of 52m, which itself beat our 2019 record of 25m”, said Philip Johnston, CEO of Trackwise Designs.
