What are the Application Area of Rigid-Flex Board?

The rigid-flex PCB is a kind of PCB that has the durability of a rigid board and the adaptability of a flexible board. Among all types of PCBs, the rigid-flex PCBs has strong resistance to harsh application environments. So, it is favored by industrial control, medical and precision equipment manufacturers. So which areas are the combination of Rigid PCB and Flex PCB suitable for?

1. Mobile phone

    In the application of the rigid-flex board in the mobile phone, the common turning point of the folding mobile phone, the image module, the button and the radio frequency module, etc. are common.

2. Industrial use

Industrial applications include rigid-flex boards used in industry, military, and medical treatment. Most industrial parts require precision, safety, and resistance to damage. So, the required characteristics of rigid-flex boards are: High precision, low impedance loss, complete signal transmission quality, durability, etc.

3. Automobile

In the application of the rigid-flex board in the car, the commonly used are the buttons on the steering wheel to connect to the motherboard, the connection of the car video system screen and the control panel, the operation connection of audio or function keys on the side door, the reversing radar imaging system, and the sensor, car communication system, satellite navigation, rear seat control panel and front-end controller connection board, car exterior detection system, etc.

4. Consumer Electrical Product

Today's smart wear, artificial intelligence, 5G products, etc., all have rigid-flex structures. In terms of performance, the rigid-flex board can three-dimensionally connect different Rigid PCBs and components.

So, under the same line density, the total area of the PCB can be increased, the circuit capacity can be relatively increased, and the signal transmission limit and contact assembly error rate can be reduced. On the other hand, because the rigid-flex board is light and thin, it can bend the routing, so it has a substantial help to reduce the volume and weight.
