Rigid Flex PCB Technology and Production Process

At Avanti Circuits, we utilize advanced rigid flex PCB technology to create versatile and reliable circuit boards that offer both the flexibility of flex circuits and the rigidity of traditional PCBs. Rigid flex PCBs are constructed using a combination of flexible layers and rigid substrates, allowing them to bend and fold while maintaining their electrical connections.

The production process of rigid flex PCBs involves multiple steps. It typically starts with designing the circuit layout and stack-up, which includes specifying the number of rigid and flex layers, their configuration, and the material used. The flex layers are made of flexible materials such as polyimide, while the rigid layers are made of standard FR-4 or other rigid substrates. The flex layers are bonded to the rigid layers using specialized adhesives, creating a robust and flexible composite structure.

Once the stack-up is finalized, the PCB goes through the machining process. This involves precision drilling, routing, and scoring to create the required circuitry and outlines. The drilling process creates holes for vias and component mounting while routing and scoring define the shape and dimensions of the rigid flex PCB.

After machining, the PCB undergoes thorough testing and inspection to ensure quality and reliability. This includes electrical testing, impedance control verification, and visual inspection to detect any defects or anomalies.

Whether it's for medical devices, aerospace applications, military equipment, or other industries, our rigid flex PCB technology and production process are designed to deliver reliable and customized solutions that meet the unique requirements of our customers' applications.
