Rigid-Flex Printed Circuit Boards, is a printed circuit board that offers the best of both worlds: the structural stability and reliability of a rigid PCB combined with the electrical flexibility of a flex PCB. They are used in various applications, including medical devices, aerospace technology, and military equipment.
Rigid Flex PCB are made up of two or more layers of rigid PCB material laminated with flexible PCB material. The rigid layers can be FR-4, CEM-1, or Rogers material, while the flexible layer is typically made of polyimide. They offer the best of both worlds – the flexibility of a flexible PCB and the rigidity of a Rigid-PCB. This makes them ideal for applications where space is limited and weight, such as in medical devices and aerospace technology, is a factor.
