Rigid-Flex PCBs
Rigid-flex PCBs offer a wide array of applications, from smart devices, to cell phones and digital cameras.
As these boards are designed in a 3D space, their design is more challenging than a typical rigid board environment. The design and manufacturing phase of these boards are highly complex.
At Sourceman, our team of experts are highly experienced with these products, ensuring designs are highly optimised for manufacturability and optimal cost.
| Feature | Sourceman’s Technical Specification |
| Number of layers | 4-16 layers |
| Technology highlights | Mixed materials including RF and high speed, standard FR-4, polyimide flex. Adhesive less or adhesive based polyimide flex constructions, with cover coat or flexible solder mask materials. |
| Bending performance | Based on the specific design, the bend performance can range from a basic 90 °bend to fit to a full dynamic flex with 360° range of motion in the flex tail that will withstand continuous cycles throughout the product life. |
| Bend features | Bend radius controls the flexibility of the flex portion of the board. The thinner the material the lower the bend radius and the more flexible the flex section. |
| Materials | RA copper, HTE copper, FR-4, polyimide, adhesive |
| Copper weights (finished) | ½ ounce, 1 ounce, 2 ounces, 3 ounces |
| Minimum track and gap | 0.075mm / 0.075mm |
| PCB thickness | 0.4mm to 3mm |
| PCB thickness in flex section | 0.05mm to 0.8mm |
| Maximum dimensions | 457mm to 610mm |
| Surface finishes available | ENIG, OSP Immersion tin, Immersion silver |
| Minimum mechanical drill | 0.20mm |
