Rigid Flex PCBs
Rigid flex PCBs are a great choice for ultra-thin packaging needs. Rigid flex printed circuit boards are the integration of elements from both hardboards and flexible circuits. The key advantage is it can be folded or flexed while maintaining shape. While the rigid PCBs are responsible for holding all the components, the flexible film connects two rigid PCBs. With the ability to streamline the electronic design, they provide added functionality and improved electrical performance. We have covered all your custom rigid flex PCB requirements for consumer appliances, industrial and manufacturing, telecommunication, automotive, medical devices, renewable energy, and many more requirements.

FAQs
Absolutely! From 2-24 layers, you could take your pick!
Rigid flex PCB manufacturing process involves multiple steps including preparing the base material, circuit pattern generation, cover lay, cutting out the flex, electrical testing, and verification.
The rigid flex PCBs consist of bare boards with multiple layers of flexible circuit substrates externally or internally, based on the design.
The lead time for such boards is 1 to 2 weeks; however, it will depend on the bespoke requirements.
We manufacture rigid flex circuit boards, rigid PCBs and flex PCBs in accordance with UL, ISO-9001, AS 9100, IPC-6012/6013 and MIL performance standards.
We offer Immersion Ni/Au and OSP. We also provide custom surface finishing or plating for rigid flex circuit boards.
We use FR4, steel or aluminum.
Please provide us Gerber Data, BOM and Assembly drawings.
