Rigid Flex PCB

A Rigid-Flex PCB is a hybrid that combines the advantages of rigid and flexible printed circuit boards. It has sections that are rigid and provide structural support, and it also has areas that are flexible and can bend or fold to fit into spaces or complex shapes. In applications like smartphones, wearables, medical devices, and aerospace, rigid-flex PCBs are ideal for compact, high-performance electronic devices where space is limited. By reducing the amount of mechanical stress placed on the components, they lessen the requirement for connectors, increase design adaptability, and boost reliability.
