As the name implies, rigid-flex printed circuit boards(PCBs) are the composite boards of rigid boards and flexible boards. Most rigid-flex circuits are multi-layered. A rigid-flex PCB can include one/several flex boards and rigid boards, which are connected through internally/externally plated-through holes.
Rigid Flexible PCB: Bend radius controls the flexibility of the flex portion of the board. The thinner the material the lower the bend radius and the more flexible the flex section.
Rigid flexible PCBs offer a wide range of applications, from military weapons and aerospace systems to mobile phones and digital cameras. Rigid flexible plate manufacturing is increasingly used in medical devices, such as pacemakers, to gain space and the ability to reduce weight. The use of rigid flexible PCBS also has advantages that can be used in military weapons and weapon control systems in consumer products.

Rigid flexibility not only maximizes space and weight but also greatly improves reliability, eliminating the need for many welded joints and weak wires that can easily create connection problems. These are just a few examples, but rigid flexible PCBS can be used in almost all advanced electrical applications, including test equipment, tools, and automobiles. Besides the benefits mentioned above, other common advantages of rigid-flex PCBs include high circuit density, excellent thermal dissipation and chemical resistance, etc. All in all, rigid-flex PCBs combine all the benefits of hard PCB and flexible PCB while complementing the disadvantages.
This kind of PCB is an optimal solution to design reliable and robust circuits for smart wearable devices and other industries. YMS has a strict quality control system to ensure the rigid-flex boards manufactured and assembled correctly with high-quality standards.
