Multilayer Flexible Rigid-Flex PCB

A Multilayer Flexible Rigid-Flex PCB is a hybrid printed circuit board that integrates multilayer rigid substrates (typically ≥4 layers) with multilayer flexible circuits (≥2 layers) into a unified 3D-interconnected module. Key characteristics include:
1. Unified Rigid-Flex Construction: Rigid zones serve as mechanical supports and component-mounting platforms, while flex zones enable dynamic bending or static 3D routing;
2. High-Density Lamination: Flexible sections use stacked polyimide (PI) layers (e.g., 4-12 layers) with microvias for interlayer conduction;
3. Seamless Transition: Copper layers extend continuously across rigid-flex junctions via lamination bonding, eliminating connectors and preserving signal integrity;
4. 3D Topology: Configurable into folded, curved, or stacked geometries, transcending planar layout limitations of conventional PCBs.
Designed for space-constrained, high-speed applications such as spacecraft payloads, medical endoscopes, and 5G mmWave modules.
