18-Layer Rigid-Flex PCB refers to a printed circuit board containing one or more rigid areas and one or more flexible areas, which is composed of rigid boards and flexible boards orderly laminated together, and is electrically connected with metallized holes. Rigid Flex PCB not only can provide the support function that rigid pcb should have, but also has the bending property of flexible board, which can meet the requirements of 3D assembly.
The designer of 16-layer Rigid-Flex PCB can use a single component to replace the composite printed circuit board which is composed of multiple connectors, multiple cables and ribbon cables. The performance is stronger and the stability is higher. At the same time, the scope of design is limited to one component, and the available space is optimized by bending and folding lines like a paper swan.
