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
