Rigid-Flex PCBs
Rigid-Flex Hybrid Circuits
Rigid-Flex PCBs consist of 2-8 conductive layers and the appropriate amount of insulating layers for that construction. Simple and robust, rigid-flex hybrid circuits combine the advantages of rigid circuit boards and flexible circuits, alleviating the need for extra cables in inventory and assembly.
These circuits are well-suited for interconnect and dynamic applications where accurate location of components is required, while still having the connectivity of a flexible circuit cable.
