Rigid Flex PCB
Rigid-flex PCBs are electronic boards using a combination of flexible and rigid PCB board technologies in an application, most rigid-flex PCB consist of multiple layers of flexible circuit substrates attached to one or more rigid boards externally and/or internally, depending upon the design of the application. Rigid-flex design doesn’t just maximize space and weight but greatly improves reliability.
Rigid-flex PCBs are a combination of rigid and flexible PCBs. The combination enables the development of mechanically challenging designs. Rigid-flex PCBs can replace an older, more traditional combination of rigid PCBs, connectors, and cables. As the mechanical connections are reduced, the overall efficiency of electrical contacts is enhanced, and the flexible part protects the circuit from mechanical hazards.
