I-Connect007 Survey Shows Rising Use of Flex and Rigid-Flex
July 24, 2018 | I-Connect007 Research TeamEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
In our recent survey on flex and rigid-flex circuits, majority or 76% of the respondents are currently using flex, rigid-flex and printed electronics in their manufacturing.
Of the 24% who answered no, a strong majority, 70%, are planning to use rigid-flex circuits in the future; 60% said they will use flex circuits; while 30% are also planing to use printed electronics.
To learn more about the survey, and to find out about the biggest problems when it comes to flex and rigid flex circuit design, fabrication, or assembly, check out the July issue of Flex007 Magazine.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Designing for Success at the Rigid-flex Transition Area
08/28/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsRigid-flex PCBs come in all shapes and sizes. Manufacturers typically use fire-retardant, grade 4 (FR-4) materials in the rigid section and flexible polyimide materials in the flex region. Because of the small size, some rigid-flex PCBs, like those for hearing aid devices, are among the most challenging to manufacture. However, regardless of its size, we should not neglect the transition area between the rigid and flexible material.
