What is a Flex-PCB? Learn about flexible circuit boards and rigid-flex combinations: materials, advantages and applications.
What is Flex-PCB?
Flex-PCBs are flexible circuit boards made from bendable materials, used in 3D mounting situations or where movement occurs.
Flexible PCBs use thin polyimide substrate and can be bent, folded or rolled. They enable 3D connections in compact devices and resist vibration and mechanical stress.
Process and Application
Rigid-flex boards combine rigid and flexible sections. Rigid areas carry components; flexible sections replace cables and connectors. Common in medical devices, aerospace, wearables and automotive electronics.
