Flex/Rigid was originally developed for use in aerospace
applications but now their use covers almost every type of
product from aircraft to cars, cameras, computer, medical
Printca Advanced PCB Solutions equipment, mobile phones, pagers and domestic appliances.

The benefits are increased reliability, total assembly repeatability, ease of assembly, inspection and testing. And in a lot of applications cost savings of at least 30% are achievable if you take the overall cost of the finished product rather than just the piece part cost of buying a flexible circuit.
Weight and space savings of up to 50% over conventional wiring is possible.
With the trend to ever smaller packaging whilst increasing features space is always at a premium.

Printca has a specialized knowhow about Rigid/Flex pcb production and nearly 50% of our production is with flexible laminate systems.
Our Rigid/Flex products are developed for demanding high performance applications and can provide superior thermal, electrical and mechanical properties.

This will give excellent assembly performance through broader latitude in high-temperature processing like SMT soldering.

The design and construction of a rigid/flex board varies with the application and we recommend that we participate in the early stage of the design phase.
