HDI flex-rigid PCB is a multilayer printed circuit board that combines HDI flex and HDI rigid electric interconnecting layers to deliver an optimum solution that delivers full flexibility. This combination of PCB manufacturing technologies offers users a variety of advantages including reduced space requirements, enhanced performance, greater stability, improved durability and easier assembly. HDI flex-rigid PCB can be bent, folded or twisted to fit devices in a way no other PCBs can, meaning that users no longer need to design and build bespoke technologies to fit the circuit board. What’s more, the incorporation of high density interconnect (HDI) technology reduces component weight, optimizes packaging utilization, improves reliability and eliminates the need for fragile wiring and additional interface connections, such as solder points, connectors, contact crimps, etc., that are prone to connection issues. The fewer the interconnects, the fewer the sources of potential failure. The ductility and low loss of HDI flex-rigid PCB reduce the impact of vibration and shock and improves overall performance.

HDI flex-rigid PCB offers additional benefits in terms of PCB design and assembly. As the HDI flex-rigid PCB reduces the need to use connectors between modules, designers can incorporate more components in a smaller space and minimize set space utilization. The decreased size of the substrate permits more I/O in smaller spaces, and this results in more efficient signal transmission and a reduction in signal loss. What’s more, handling flex-rigid PCB boards during assembly is much more straightforward than trying to integrate flexible boards, leading to a simplified PCB assembly and testing process that incorporates the functionality of both flex and rigid parts. The overall finished assembly packaging size and material costs are also lower due to the use of a thin and flexible polyimide film that requires a much smaller area than existing forms of flexible boards.

Application

HDI flex-rigid PCBs can be used in a variety of applications, from terminal communication and supercomputing to military and aerospace systems. Additionally, the reduced space and weight of HDI flex-rigid PCBs entails that they are extremely useful in wearable technologies and medical devices such as pacemakers. HDI flex-rigid PCBs have also been successfully incorporated into sensors, tools and vision systems.
