What is Rigid-Flex PCB?

Rigid-Flex Printed Circuit Board

A rigid-flex PCB combines rigid board sections with flexible circuit sections in one assembly, letting a board fold or bend to fit a 3D enclosure while removing connectors and cables.

Rigid-flex improves reliability and shrinks products by eliminating the connectors that commonly fail, and is widely used in medical, aerospace, and wearable devices where space and durability are critical.
