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.

Rigid-Flex printed circuit boards are boards using a combination of
flexible and rigid board technologies in an application. Most rigid
flex boards 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. The
flexible substrates are designed to be in a constant state of flex
and are usually formed into the flexed curve during manufacturing
or installation.
Rigid-Flex designs are more challenging than the design of a
typical rigid board environment, as these boards are designed in a
3D space, which also offers greater spatial efficiency. By being
able to design in three dimensions rigid flex designers can twist,
fold and roll the flexible board substrates to achieve their
desired shape for the final application's package.
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.
