RELATED RECOMMENDED RIGID-FLEX PCB

flexPCB

Flexible substrates make flexible circuit boards. Flex circuits made from polyimide and copper layers. Flexible PCBs bend without breaking. If the bend creases the copper, it will crack. Flexible circuits are not on thin “semi-flexible” FR4 boards. Because FR4 is brittle, a thin (10-mil) board will flex but break.
as flex and rigid-flex circuit board technologies progress. It is vital to understand technical elements while building flexible PCBs. Advanced flex and rigid-flex capabilities for high-tech items as below.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FLEX AND RIGID BOARDS?

Substances:

Rigid boards are usually composed of FR4. whereas flexible circuits made of polyimide. Polyimide used in the construction of stiff boards in some circumstances. but it is not as widespread.

Coverlay:

Flex PCBs have either a flexible mask or a coverlay. whereas rigid boards normally only have a solder mask. When using a coverlay, the apertures routed or laser cut. The coverlay is then adhered to the flex with an adhesive (usually 1 or 2 mils thick).

Stiffeners:

FR4 or polyimide stiffeners, are commonly used on flexible PCBs. to stiffen particular non-flexing zones. Stiffeners laminated to the flex or glued with PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive). Stiffeners are not required for rigid boards.

Permittivity:

Rigid board materials have a wide variety of relative permittivity . whereas flexible polyimide material is typically 3.4.

GESP FLEXIBLE PCB MANUFACTURER
The main problem with using flex PCB in a consumer product is that they are more expensive. In an automated high-volume manufacturing facility. it costs less to make and install rigid circuit boards.In conclusion, GESP Technology makes printed circuit boards. and flexible circuit boards for companies that make products. Talk to one of our sales reps about it to find out. if flexible or rigid circuit boards are better for your product prototype design.
