Rigid Flex PCB UK

As an eminent PCB manufacturer UK, PCB Company creates bare boards. For the past ten years and more, this has been the core of our business. Whether you need a few custom PCB boards fast, or many boards for your production schedule; whether you require simple breakout/pinout boards, or highly complex Microwave/RF boards, PCB supplier UK has a service for your needs.

Why Flex PCB UK

As rigid flex PCB manufacturers, we offer our customers boards that are a combination of flexible parts and rigid parts. Depending on the nature of the application, the technology involves multiple layers of flexible circuit substrates bonded to several rigid sections externally and/or internally. As flexible circuit board manufacturers, we design the flexible substrates to flex continuously or flex only once during assembly. We usually form the flexing curve during the manufacturing or when installing.

Coming from an experienced flex PCB manufacturer, designs for flexible printed circuit boards are much more challenging compared to the design of regular rigid boards. The main challenge for a flexible circuit manufacturer is designing the board in three dimensions—rigid flex circuits must be capable of twisting, folding, and rolling, as the boards achieve their final shape when the operator mounts them in the final product.

PCB Company can turn your flexible PCB prototypes in as little as 36 hours.

Our customers prefer rigid flex circuits from flex PCB UK, as they help in designing smaller, thinner, and lighter devices. For instance, our advanced flex PCB manufacturing technology allows customers to build thinner mobiles, lightweight wearables, and more durable notebooks, netbooks, and computers.

Advantages Flex PCB UK

As flexible circuit manufacturers, rigid flex PCB UK offers significant advantages, such as:

  • Space Saving
  • Cost Reduction
  • Ease of Assembly
  • Ease of Testing
  • Improved Reliability
  • Better Thermal Management
Rigid Flex PCB UK

Space Saving

A rigid flex circuit can replace a bunch of rigid boards connected with wires. Where space is in short supply, such as in a wearable, flexible circuit board manufacturers have the advantage, as their boards can fold and bend to accommodate.

Cost Reduction

As flex PCB manufacturers, we help reduce the cost of our customer’s products by replacing several rigid boards and interconnecting wiring with one rigid flex circuit. Although flexible circuits are more expensive as compared to the cost of regular rigid boards, what makes flexible circuits more attractive is one flex circuit can replace several rigid boards, the wire harnesses between them, and most of the connectors.

Ease of Assembly

Assembling a device with one flex circuit is much simpler than assembling several rigid boards and connecting them up with wire harnesses. As rigid flex PCB UK, we help to reduce the PCB assembly time for our customers, thereby improving their processing time and product throughput.

Ease of Testing

As flex PCB UK, when we manufacture rigid flex circuits, we also make and interconnect all the sub-circuits in the system. Therefore, our customers find it easy to automate the testing of their systems immediately after they have mounted the flex circuit.

Improved Reliability

By replacing the connectors and wire harnesses, flexible printed circuits improve the reliability of products. Preparing and interconnecting wire harnesses is primarily a manual process prone to human errors. By removing most of the manual processes involved, rigid flex PCB manufacturers help to improve the functioning and the reliability of their customer’s products.

Better Thermal Management

Electronic components generate heat when operating. Designers must make provision for the heat to escape from the components to the external environment. Regular boards impede this heat flow as their substrates are bad conductors of heat. In comparison, flexible circuit board manufacturers use special flexible substrates that are very good conductors of heat. This helps in better thermal management even inside small and cramped devices.

PCB Company, a rigid flex PCB UK manufacturer, offers several more advantages for their customers. Our experienced technical team conducts DFA/DFM processes for assessing your design and to offer advice for improvements. Please contact our team for additional information.
