RIGID.flex PCBs

Rigid-flex printed circuit boards, like many other technologies, were originally developed for military and aerospace applications. However, the production of RIGID.flex has changed from a somewhat handcrafted character to a largely automated series production, not least due to the introduced standardizations of the technology and also the advances in plant and process technology. Rigid-flex printed circuit boards can now be found in all industries and applications where miniaturization and reliability are important. One or more flexible polyimide foils, continuously pressed into the entire structure, connect the rigid parts and thus replace cables and connectors in the tightest of spaces.
