The birth and development of FPC and PCB gave birth to the new product Rigid-flex PCB Board. Therefore, Rigid-flex PCB Board is a flexible circuit board and a rigid circuit board, after pressing and other processes, combined according to the relevant process requirements, forming a circuit board with FPC characteristics and PCB characteristics.

Production Process:

Because Rigid-flex PCB Board is a combination of FPC and PCB, the production of Rigid-flex PCB Board should have both FPC production equipment and PCB production equipment. First, the electronic engineer draws the circuit and shape of the flexible board according to the requirements, and then sends it to the factory that can produce the flexible and hard board. The CAM engineer processes and plans the relevant documents, and then arranges the FPC production line production site FPC and PCB production lines are required to produce PCB. After these two soft and hard boards come out, in accordance with the planning requirements of the electronic engineer, the FPC and PCB are seamlessly pressed by a pressing machine, and then a series of details are passed to the final process Rigid-flex PCB Board. A very important link, because Rigid-flex PCB Board is difficult and there are many details. It is generally inspected before shipment, because its value is relatively high, so as to avoid loss of related benefits to both the supplier and the demander.

Advantages and disadvantages:

Advantages: Rigid-flex PCB Board has the characteristics of FPC and PCB at the same time. Therefore, it can be used in some products with special requirements. It has both a certain flexible area and a certain rigid area, which is helpful for saving internal products. Space, reduce the volume of finished products, and improve product performance are of great help.

Disadvantages: Rigid-flex PCB Board has many production processes, difficult production, low yield, and more materials and labor. Therefore, its price is relatively expensive and the production cycle is relatively long.
