Rigid-Flexible PCB Fabrication
Rigid-flexible PCB are the printed circuit boards that use laminaion process to combine FPC and rigid PCB together.
Flexible PCB are widely used in many industrial and commercial applications. The rigid flex circuit contributes to cost saving for wire and wire harness assemblies without influnencing performance.
What are the advantages of rigid-flex PCB?
1. Space saving: Rigid-flex PCB can save spaces without or with few connectors.
2. Flexible design: Flexibile with 3D design.
3. Product reliability: Fewer connectors make the products more reliabile.
4. Easy assembly: It is easier to assembly the rigid-flex PCB assembly.
Application of Rigid-Flex PCB
1. Industrial application
Many rigid-flex PCBs are used in the industrial application such as military and medical industry. Because the industrial products requires higher accuracy, safety and resistance to damage.
2. Mobile Phones
Many rigid-flex PCBs are widely used in mobile phones, such as camera modules, keypads, and radion frequency modules, etc.
3. Automotive
Many rigid-flex PCBs are widely used in the auotomotive industry, such as the buttons on the steering wheel which connects to motherboard and connection of the car video system screen and the control panel.
