Advantages of Rigid-Flex PCB
The Rigid-Flex PCB has the characteristics of both FPC and PCB. Prin urmare, it can be used in some products with special requirements that not only require a certain flexible area but also a certain rigid area. This is of great help in saving the internal space of the product, reducing the volume of the finished product, and improving product performance.
Disadvantages of Rigid-Flex PCB
The production process of Rigid-Flex PCB is complex and difficult. The rate of good products is low, and there are many materials and manpower involved. Prin urmare, the price is relatively expensive, and the production cycle is relatively long.
