Primary Capability
Rigid-Flex PCB
Rigid board sections connected by flexible circuit layers, combined into a single assembly instead of separate boards joined by cables.
Overview
Rigid board sections connected by flexible circuit layers, combined into a single assembly instead of separate boards joined by cables.
Why it matters
Where a product needs to fold, hinge, or fit into a non-flat enclosure, rigid-flex removes the connectors and wiring harnesses that would otherwise be extra failure points.
Typical Applications
- Foldable and hinged devices
- Aerospace and defense packaging
- Wearables with articulated sections
- Compact assemblies with tight 3D packaging constraints
Manufacturing Considerations
- Bend radius and flex-cycle life need to be planned into the design, not added afterward
- Material selection differs between rigid and flex zones and affects lamination
- Assembly and handling require different fixturing than a flat rigid board
