Rigid-flex PCB

<p><br></p><p>Rigid-flex PCBs are printed circuit boards with rigid and flexible areas, making them ideal for various applications. A typical <a href="https://www.atech<a href="https://www.atechpcb.com/pcb-manufacturing" target="_blank">pcb</a>.com/pcb-manufacturing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><a href="https://www.atechpcb.com/pcb-manufacturing" target="_blank">rigid-flex PCB</a></strong></a> circuit includes two or more conductive layers, each of which contains a flexible or rigid insulating material-the outer layer may have exposed pads or cover layers. Conductors can be found on the rigid layer, and plated through holes can be found on both the rigid layer and the flexible layer.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Advantages of rigid-flex PCB technology</strong></p><p>Although the design and production cost of this type of flexible circuit may be higher, it does provide many important advantages. For example, the reduced size makes it easier to fit more components into a smaller space. This can actually help reduce overall system costs. In addition, since they require fewer interconnections and related parts and components, these flexible circuit boards can also prove to be more reliable and require less maintenance in the long run.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Like all types of flexible circuit boards, rigid PCBs can perform well even in the harshest environments, especially under high temperature conditions. Rigid flexible boards are also easy to test and very suitable for prototyping.</p>
