Rigid flex printed circuit boards are a blend of rigid and flex boards and come with synergistic capabilities of both PCB varieties. While a prominent portion of the board is comprised of rigid areas, flex circuit features constitute the regions where the board is designed to be flexible.
In this board design, where rigid areas work as the sturdy base for mounting of components and connectors, the flexible areas are points of dynamic flexion. The flex circuit arrangement also works as cushion for components that are sensitive towards vibration or mechanical stress.
The combination of the positives of the both circuitry patterns makes rigid flex printed circuit boards highly effective in innovative packaging needs. Although, they are a bit costlier than the standard multilayer circuit with stiffeners, the ability to conform to diverse design makes rigid flex circuits grow in popularity.

Hi,
can some one please tell me how rigidity is co-related with the flexible circuit mechanism.Also provide the information on pcb layout designer.

kelvin.
One of the best circuit boards I have came across are the potentiometer of Spectra Symbol.
