As the name implies, a rigid flex PCB is a combination of both rigid and flexible substrates. One or more flexible circuits are used to connect subcircuits on rigid PCBs. Rigid flex PCBs are usually produced with flexible polyimide material on copper cladding substrate and connects to the rigid FR4 board.
The flexible part of the rigid flex PCB usually features a multilayer built with padded through holes securing the interconnectivity between layers. Rigid flex PCB has grown from merely using the flexible substrate as a replacement for wire harnesses, to having actual subcircuits built on the flexible area itself.
Advantages Of Rigid-Flex PCB
Designing a rigid flex PCB is considerably more challenging than conventional rigid PCB. However, there are good reasons why rigid flex is used in some designs, particularly one that involves fitting the board in tight spaces.

FQA
1. Do you offer double-layer flexible PCB?
Yes, we make single layer flexible PCB, double sided flexible PCB, multi-layer flexible PCB, and Rigid-Flex PCBs.
2. Do you provide stiffeners and cover films?
Yes, we provide black PI stiffeners, yellow PI cover films, transparent polyimide films, white overlay, and brown PI copper clad laminates.
3. Do you use adhesive free copper foil base material?
Yes. We have four manufacturing methods for adhesive-free copper foil base materials. We use spray plating, curtain coating, electroless deposition/electrolytic plating, and laminating.
4. What are the minimum and maximum thickness of your adhesive flex PCBs?
Minimum thickness is 2 µm and the maximum is 200 µm.
We ensure high chemical durability and processing compatibility for flexible printed circuits and do not sacrifice its original electrical property, heat-resistant property, and mechanical property.
5. Which IPC standards do you follow?
