FAQ's

Flexible VS Rigid-Flex PCBs

Flexible materials low weight, high insulation capacity, and stability under extreme temperatures and, not least, the ability to let the circuit to be bent must be the big advantage over rigid PCBs.

The rigid PCBs easier production and much lower material cost are crucial, what make rigid PCBs the first choice.

High Temperature and High-Density Applications？

In many cases, flex circuits are made of polyimide or a similar polymer. This material dissipates heat better than most rigid circuit board materials. For this reason, flexible circuits can be placed in inconvenient locations where heat would impact the performance of a rigid circuit board.

Rigid-Flex PCBs Technology and Production Process？

Whether producing a rigid flex prototype or production quantities requiring large scale Rigid-Flex PCBs fabrication and PCB assembly, the technology is well proven and reliable. The flex PCB portion is particularly good in overcoming space and weight issues with spatial degrees of freedom.

Careful consideration of Rigid-Flex solutions and a proper assessment of the available options at the early stages in the rigid-flex PCB design phase will return significant benefits. The Rigid-Flex PCBs fabricator must be involved early in the design process to ensure the design and fab portions are both in coordination and to account for final product variations.

The Rigid-Flex manufacturing phase is also more complex and time-consuming than rigid board fabrication. All the flexible components of the Rigid-Flex assembly have completely different handling, etching, and soldering processes than rigid FR4 boards.

Flexible Circuit Boards Can be Designed to Withstand Extreme Temperatures？

Between -200° C and 400° C - which explains why they are so suitable for borehole measurements in the oil and gas industry.

High temperature resistance is usually accompanied by good chemical resistance and excellent resistance to radiation and ultraviolet radiation. Combined with the ability to control impedance in high density board designs, flexible circuit designs offer many benefits to manufacturers.

What are Flexible PCBs Used for?

The major reason for designing PCB in flexible material are the bending ability of the circuit. Eigther as a fixed bent mounting or as dynamic flexing design. Low weight and excellent possibility for miniaturization.
