What is a Rigid Flex PCB?
Printed Circuits Rigid Flex PCBA rigid flex printed circuit board
(PCB) is a hybrid circuit board design that integrates elements
from both hardboard and flexible circuits. Rigid flex PCBs are
rigid at some points on the board and flexible at others. Because
of this, rigid flex circuits can be folded or continuously flexed
while maintaining the shape of areas that need extra support. The
circuits are typically multi-layered and are comprised of flexible
circuit substrates joined with rigid boards. The flexible layers
are buried internally and completely penetrate the rigid sections
of the PCB.
One of the key benefits of a rigid flex PCB is its slim profile.
The standard dielectric in flexible circuits is .001 – .002”,
making it a great choice for ultra thin—and ultra light—packaging
needs. Adhesiveless laminates, HDI, and thin copper layers make it
ideal for fine line technology, giving you the smallest, thinnest,
and lightest solution for your circuit designs.
The proper application of Rigid-Flex circuit boards offers optimum
solutions for difficult, limited space conditions. This technology
offers the possibility of a secure connection of device components
with the assurance of polarity and contact stability, as well as a
reduction in plug and connector components.
Additional advantages of Rigid-Flex circuit boards are dynamic and
mechanical stability, the resulting 3-dimensional freedom of
design, simplified installation, space savings, and maintenance of
uniform electrical characteristics.
Use of Rigid-Flex circuit boards can reduce the total cost of the
final product.

While they come at a higher cost, rigid flex boards are extremely
versatile and can be tailored to applications across a wide range
of industries. They are highly suitable for military, aerospace,
and medical devices, but they can also be implemented towards
certain commercial products.
There are several circumstances that make rigid flex PCBs as an
optimal solution. In such situations, these boards are not only
worth the investment, but also may be the most cost-effective
choice. These include:
High-shock and high-vibration environments. Rigid flex PCBs are
highly shock resistant and can survive in high-stress environments
that would otherwise cause equipment failure.
High-precision applications where reliability is more important
than cost considerations. In situations where a cable or connector
failure would be dangerous, the more durable rigid flex PCBs are
preferable.
High-density applications.Some assemblies lack the requisite
surface area for all the necessary connectors and cables. A rigid
flex circuit can economize space to solve this problem.
Applications requiring multiple rigid boards. When assemblies get
crowded with more than four connected boards, it may be optimal and
more cost effective to replace them with a single rigid flex PCB.
More broadly, rigid flex PCBs have the following advantages:
Survive high levels of shock and vibration
Survive hundreds of thousands of flex cycles
Reduce package weight
Increase circuit density
Decrease necessary assembly operations
Rigid flex circuit assemblies are ideal for reducing and/or
eliminating connectors, as well as the labor, yield, transmission,
and reliability issues that are inherent in their application. Any
assembly that can benefit from these features can benefit from a
rigid flex PCB.
A Rigid-Flex PCB is a hybrid 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.
The flexible part of the board is usually used for providing
interconnections between rigid boards, which allows narrow
conductor lines which take up less space making the boards smaller.
Using flexible PCBs for interconnections also eliminates the need
for connectors, which are bulky and heavy making rigid-flex printed
circuit boards much lighter. Interconnections using flexible PCBs
over connectors also provide lower losses and accommodate
controlled impedance and eliminate connection problems such as cold
joints.
Another major advantage of Rigid-Flex boards is the use of
different substrate materials in different sections on the board.
Some sections of the board might require high performance
substrates which are expensive while others sections might not
could use a standard FR-4 substrate. This flexibility in terms of
substrate selection can optimize the performance and cost of
Rigid-Flex PCBs.
Designers often use Rigid-Flex PCBs as they provide a lot of design
flexibility. These boards are also more cost effective than
flexible PCB boards.
