Rigid-Flex PCB

Rigid-Flex PCB

Rigid-Flex PCB is a board that consists of a combination of rigid and flexible printed circuit boards. These boards are designed by combining flexible circuit boards with one or more rigid boards.

Advantages of rigid-flex PCB:

• 3D design freedom.
• Dynamic possibilities.
• Lower volume and weight.
• Reliable connections.
• Simple assembly process.
• Cost reduction.

Rigid-Flex PCB Base Materials

For standard rigid we use FR4/(or other resin) cores and prepreg.

For flex-rigid we use:

• Flex clad materials
• Cover layer
• No flow prepreg
• Bond ply material
• Rigid clad material
