Flex PCB (Flexible Printed Circuit Board, we also call FPC) are typically manufactured using a polyimide material or polyester film. Flex PCB comes with numerous advantages such as high circuit density, light weight, thin thickness, flexible and bendable.
Asia Pacific Circuits provides one-stop flex PCB & rigid flex PCB solution which include flex PCB & rigid flex PCB fabrication, BOM list sourcing, flex PCB & rigid flex PCB assembly, testing, carton box & inner box customized, etc. Flex PCB & rigid flex PCB are widely used in many fields, such as communications, energy, security, optoelectronics, industrial control, medical, automotive and consumer electronics and so on.
What is rigid flex PCB ? Rigid flex PCBs are boards that use a combination of rigid and flexible board technologies. Rigid flex PCBs come into play when two rigid boards need to be connected or when a device and a board needs to be connected. Compared with rigid PCB, rigid flex PCB avoids jumpers or wiring sections, it can save space of the board and reduce the impact of vibration.

Flexible circuit boards come with a wide range of benefits including but not limited to:
1) Reduction in size and weight compared to rigid boards, package size also can be reduced.
2) Flex PCB can be bent and folded easily to fit perfectly into smaller devices.
3) Flex PCB with good integrity and reliability when used in demanding applications since it is designed without solder joints, connectors, or contact crimps.
4) Flexible PCB provides better heat dissipation due to the use of polyimide and the streamlined design of the board.
5) Flex PCBs provide better electrical performance because their low dielectric constant allows electrical signals to be transmitted quickly and reduces noise figure.
6) Good temperature range makes flex PCBs suitable for harsher environments.
7) Fewer materials requested when assembly. Less manufacturing & material cost.
