AI Technical Summary
Existing protective films used for opening PCB/FPC covers suffer from high costs, insufficient precision, and inability to quantify data, making efficient and automated bonding impossible.
The protective film employs a 5-layer structure, including a release layer, a PI substrate layer, a thermosetting adhesive layer, and a PET composite film layer. This allows for flexible opening positions, and the use of a thermosetting adhesive layer instead of acrylic adhesive makes it adaptable to different environments and supports automated lamination.
It achieves flexibility in the opening position and stability in product quality, supports automated production, reduces costs and improves production efficiency and precision, and can quantify the bonding effect.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of protective film technology, specifically relating to a protective film for opening PCB / FPC covers. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demands for high-quality manufacturing processes, the requirements for the bonding precision and opening position of protective films used in PCB / FPC cap opening are becoming increasingly stringent. Currently used cap opening protective films consist of a PI substrate coated with acrylic adhesive and then laminated with a PET release film. During product use, the opening position can only be on a fixed PET side. Current PCB / FPC manufacturing processes and the production processes for cap opening protective films cannot meet the requirements for high-precision automated bonding manually. Existing bonding processes mainly rely on fixed tooling fixtures for manual bonding, which cannot guarantee bonding precision and high-efficiency production. Furthermore, it is impossible to quantify the results of manual bonding, placing significant pressure on product quality and production capacity. To ensure high-quality and high-efficiency production, introducing high-precision automated bonding methods is both necessary and urgent.
[0003] The existing PCB / FPC board opening and protective film bonding method has the following main shortcomings: (1) High cost: The product opening position is fixed and can only be on the PET surface. It can only be bonded by manpower, resulting in low quality and efficiency, which leads to high cost; (2) Insufficient precision: Manual bonding will result in a deformation of ±0.15mm between the protective film and the PCB / FPC, which cannot guarantee precision; (3) Inability to quantify bonding effect: Due to manual bonding, the bonding effect cannot be quantified digitally. It can only be inspected visually and cannot promote the improvement of bonding process through digitalization. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a protective film for opening lids, which can solve at least one technical problem involved in the background art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0006] This utility model provides a protective film for opening lids, comprising a release layer, a PI substrate layer, a thermosetting adhesive layer, a PET composite film layer and a release layer stacked sequentially from top to bottom.
[0007] Optionally, the thickness of the release layer is 1-2 μm.
[0008] Optionally, the release layer is coated on both the PI substrate layer and the PET composite film layer.
[0009] Optionally, the thickness of the PI substrate layer is 12-60 μm.
[0010] Optionally, the thickness of the thermosetting adhesive layer is 6-40 μm.
[0011] Optionally, the thickness of the PET composite film layer is 25-75 μm.
[0012] Optionally, the release layer is a silicone-free release layer.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0014] Employing a 5-layer structure with PI as the substrate, an outer release layer, a middle thermosetting adhesive layer, and a bottom PET composite film layer with an outer release layer, this design allows for flexible opening positions, allowing the cover to be opened at any location on either the PI or PET side, facilitating product selection for users. It also provides the necessary conditions for automated PCB / FPC bonding production. Furthermore, replacing the original acrylic adhesive layer with a thermosetting adhesive layer results in more stable product quality, diversified production methods, and greater adaptability to various external environments.
