A rigid-flex PCB combines rigid and flexible circuit layers into a single structure, offering both durability and design flexibility. It allows 3D configurations, reduces connectors, and improves reliability. AIVON's rigid-flex PCBs are ideal for compact, high-performance devices requiring stable signal integrity and mechanical strength.
The flexible section of a flex or rigid-flex PCB can be bent, folded, or routed in three dimensions, allowing designers to bypass internal mechanical obstructions and densely packed components. This capability significantly improves internal layout efficiency and reduces the overall product size. For example, in consumer electronics such as smartphones and tablets, using flexible circuits in hinge areas, battery connections, and display modules can reduce device thickness by up to 30%, enabling sleeker and more compact designs. In wearables, flexible PCBs allow electronics to conform to curved surfaces, maximizing space without sacrificing performance.
Flexible PCBs enhance system reliability by minimizing the number of solder joints, connectors, and wiring harnesses—common failure points in traditional assemblies. Fewer interconnects can reduce the failure rate by up to 50% during long-term operation. Additionally, the integrated structure of flexible circuits provides strong resistance to vibration, impact, and thermal cycling. These advantages make them highly suitable for automotive-grade applications such as in-vehicle sensors, ADAS cameras, dashboard modules, and engine-bay electronic control units, where durability and stability are critical under harsh operating conditions.
Fine-pitch traces in the flexible area, often with line width/spacing ≤ 0.1 mm, help minimize signal attenuation and electromagnetic interference. Combined with advanced stack-up design and high-performance materials, flexible PCBs can achieve ±7% impedance control accuracy, ensuring stable signal transmission even at very high frequencies. These characteristics make them ideal for 5G communication infrastructure, high-speed data transmission modules, RF antennas, camera signal lines, and other applications requiring low loss and high-frequency reliability.
Flexible PCBs typically use polyimide (PI) substrates, offering exceptional thermal and chemical resistance. PI materials withstand temperatures above 260°C, maintain excellent dimensional stability, and resist corrosion from oils, solvents, and industrial chemicals. When combined with protective surface treatments, such as conformal coatings for dustproof, moisture-proof, and oxidation resistance, flex circuits can reliably operate in harsh environments. They are widely applied in industrial automation equipment (e.g., robots, SMT equipment, high-temperature workshops), aerospace systems, medical implantables, and other devices requiring long-term performance in challenging conditions.
