Rigid-flex is especially valuable in applications where space is limited, weight is a constraint, or electronics are subject to mechanical motion. These designs eliminate the need for bulky connectors and cables between rigid boards, improving durability and reducing assembly complexity.
Small size, high reliability, and suitable for complex structural designs; main application areas: consumer and BMS, Automated equipment.

The versatility of rigid-flex circuit board layouts enables complex and innovative designs that can adapt to non-planar surfaces and accommodate unique geometric shapes, thus pushing the boundaries of electronic device design. The adoption of rigid-flex PCB technology can contribute to more sustainable and environmentally friendly electronic devices by reducing material waste and promoting energy-efficient designs. while rigid circuit areas provide stability and strength for other areas of the product that need increased durability and shock absorption.
