We strive to provide quality products which are always on time, by creating our own hybrid model from 6-sigma and lean manufacturing strategies combined with strict quality control assured by our many certifications. We seek to run on a platform of efficiency, so from the second you provide us details to your job, every step is monitored and measured to give us the metrics to make the right choices to create precision, speed, and quality.

Rigid Flex Printed Circuit Boards

At American Circuit Technology we’ve been diligently refining the process of PCB manufacturing for over 25 years. So when you combine collective experience of our management team, along with our ultramodern equipment, you have a recipe for success. This is part of the reason our boards have been utilized in many different industries from aerospace, automotive, entertainment, and medical. Rigid Flex PCB require a great amount of attention to detail, and that is why a progressive approach is necessary to fulfill the intended purpose while also considering physical traits. The ability of a single flexible board to replace several rigid boards is one of the reasons the industry is shifting toward utilizing this relatively new development. It allows less weight and space utilization, while still maintaining power and signal during large flexing cycles, and even the tolerance against harsh environmental factors that typical soldermasks are incapable of. These types of advantages allow for more innovation, more uses, and the ability to add to the bottom line.

Whether you’re looking for a board that can do more, or looking for space & weight savings, American Circuit Technology can help you. So give us a call today at (714) 777-2480.

What is a Rigid Flex PCB?

Rigid Flex boards consist of multiple flexible circuit inner layers specifically jointed together using an epoxy pre-preg bonding film, not too different from a multilayer flexible circuit. Multilayer Rigid Flex circuit boards can contain the board in any presentation: externally, internally, or a mixture of both to fulfill the requirements of the design.

Rigid Flex technology in Printed Circuit Board (PCB) production, whether in simple Rigid Flex prototypes or on a larger scale Rigid Flex pcb production set, is has proven itself reliable and durable. Rigid Flex boards are particularly good in providing low density opportunity in terms of space and weight with plenty spatial degrees of freedom.

When carefully considerations are placed in construction of Rigid Flex solutions, along with proper assessment of all available options at the early stages in the Rigid Flex PCB design phase will provide significant returns and benefits:

• Minimize size and weight by removing cables & connectors on rigid parts.
• Higher reliability with less solder joints.
• Space optimization through the application of 3D circuitry.
• Simplified assembly process.
• Extra convenience in assembly compared to just flexible boards.
• Reduced testing condition complications.
• Cost reduction in terms of logistics, production, and assembly.
• Increase in complexity correlates with extra degrees of freedom in housing.
