PCB (Printed Circuit Boards)
We manufacture three different types of PCBs. Which type you choose will depend on the purpose for which they are intended.
Rigid PCBs
Rigid Printed Circuit Boards are the traditional board and the foundation from which the other two variations came. Rigid PCBs are built on a base layer or substrate that cannot twist or bend. They can be single sided (one copper layer), double sided (two copper layers) or multi-layer. In multi-layer boards multiple layers of material are laminated together to allow for higher component density.

Flex PCBs
As the name implies flex PCBs or flex circuits, can bend and twist making them good in small tight spaces. Flex PCBs are a technology for assembling electronic circuits by mounting electronic devices on flexible plastic substrates. They are lighter and better at dealing with environmental conditions such as heat and vibrations than rigid PCBs. These boards are commonly used in applications such as solar cells, auto manufacturing, cameras, mobile phone, and other products that utilize LCD and OLED technology.

Rigid Flex PCBs
A hybrid of the above types, rigid flex designs consist of multiple layers of flexible circuit substrates attached to one or more rigid boards. Rigid Flex PCBs combine many of the advantages of the other types of PCBs. They are light weight, reliable, and resistant to shocks. in addition, the ability to bend makes them incredibly versatile.
