Rigid Flex Applications and Advantages
While they come at a higher cost, rigid flex boards are extremely versatile and can be tailored to applications across a wide range of industries. They are highly suitable for military, aerospace, and medical devices, but they can also be implemented towards certain commercial products.
There are several circumstances that make rigid flex PCBs as an optimal solution. In such situations, these boards are not only worth the investment, but also may be the most cost-effective choice. These include:
High-shock and high-vibration environments. Rigid flex PCBs are highly shock resistant and can survive in high-stress environments that would otherwise cause equipment failure.
High-precision applications where reliability is more important than cost considerations. In situations where a cable or connector failure would be dangerous, the more durable rigid flex PCBs are preferable.
High-density applications.Some assemblies lack the requisite surface area for all the necessary connectors and cables. A rigid flex circuit can economize space to solve this problem.
Applications requiring multiple rigid boards. When assemblies get crowded with more than four connected boards, it may be optimal and more cost effective to replace them with a single rigid flex PCB.
