Rigid-flexible printed circuits boards overview
- The literal meaning of "rigid-flex" is combination the advantages of both flexible and rigid boards. It's seen as two-in-one circuit is interconnected through plated thru holes. Rigid flex circuits enable higher component density while fitting into limited and odd shaped spaces.
- Rigid-flex printed circuits boards consists of multiple flexible circuit inner layers selectively attached together using an epoxy pre-preg bonding film, similar to a mul-tilayer flexible circuit. Rigid flex circuits have been used in the high-tech and aerospace industries for more than 20 years. In most rigid flex circuit boards.

How ABIS Handling the Flex-Rigid Circuit?
The capability to shape the final assembly of rigid and flexible PCBs to fit a product enclosure is the primary advantage of flexible circuits boards. Here are 2 tips to incorporate in your rigid-flex design project:
- Increase trace reliability: The bending that flex circuits endure means that the copper is more likely to delaminate than on a rigid board. The addition of copper to the substrate is less than on an FR4 PCB as well.
- Strengthen traces and vias with teardrops: If not controlled, bending the substrate can lead to delamination and product failure. Traces and vias can, however, be strengthened to prevent delamination, also produce better yield in manufacturing by giving more drilling tolerance.
