As 5G communication, аэрокосмический, and high-end medical electronic devices advance rapidly, product internal space becomes increasingly compact, while demanding higher signal transmission stability and reliability. Traditional rigid печатные платы or cable connections can no longer meet these complex design requirements. UGPCB 8-слой жестко-гибкой печатной платы, with its unique rigid-flex integrated structure, perfectly solves the challenges of three-dimensional assembly and high-density interconnection. It provides an ideal “rigid and flexible” carrier for your designs.

What is a Rigid-Flex PCB?
А жестко-гибкая печатная плата is a composite circuit board formed by combining гибкие печатные схемы и rigid printed circuits through a lamination process, according to specific circuit design requirements.
It is not a simple physical overlay. Вместо, it integrates the bendable and foldable characteristics of flexible circuits with the high mechanical strength and load-bearing capacity of rigid circuits. In UGPCB’s product, we achieve seamless electrical interconnection between 4 rigid layers and 4 flexible layers through precise stack-up design. This allows a single circuit board to securely mount components while bending and navigating through tight spaces.
Основные моменты дизайна: Precise 8-Layer Rigid-Flex Structure
To meet the stringent demands of communication equipment for signal integrity and mechanical stability, UGPCB’s product adopts a symmetrical 8-слой (4R+4F) structure design.
-
Stack-up Control: Four rigid layers (using FR-4) host complex logic devices, while four flexible layers (using polyimide) enable signal connections across different areas. This design effectively avoids signal attenuation and assembly errors caused by connectors and cables.
-
Сопоставление импеданса: At the rigid-flex interface, we implement smooth trace transitions to ensure impedance continuity, что имеет решающее значение для высокоскоростная связь приложения.
-
Bending Radius Consideration: Considering the bending stress of multi-layer structures, our design ensures the bend radius of the flexible area is significantly larger than the minimum allowable value (typically more than 10 times the total thickness) to prevent copper foil fracture.
Working Principle and Structure
The working principle of this 8-layer rigid-flex PCB is based on its unique physical structure:
-
Жесткие области: The four rigid layers mainly provide mechanical support for components, such as mounting main control chips, силовые модули, и разъемы. Internal circuits are interconnected through plated through-holes.
-
Гибкие области: The four flexible layers act as the “electrical spine,” responsible for transmitting data between different modules of the device (например, between the main control board and display panel or RF front-end). Due to the use of полиимид субстрат, they can bend into various shapes to fit the device enclosure.
-
Interconnection Interface: The junction between rigid and flexible sections is specially treated (например, teardrop connections, stepped transitions) to ensure electrical connection reliability during dynamic bending.
Core Materials and Performance Advantages
UGPCB selects top-grade materials for this product to ensure excellent performance in harsh environments:
-
Субстрат: Combination of ФР-4 и Полиимид. FR-4 provides mechanical strength in rigid areas, while PI offers exceptional heat resistance, химическая устойчивость, and flex life in flexible areas.
-
Медная фольга: The entire board uses 1 унция толщина меди. For flexible areas subject to dynamic bending, the use of rolled annealed copper ensures excellent bending endurance.
-
Поверхностная отделка: Погружение Золото с 3м” gold thickness. The thick gold layer provides superior surface flatness and contact reliability, particularly suitable for contacts requiring frequent insertion/withdrawal or long-term stable connection in communication equipment.
Manufacturing Process and Quality Control
To achieve high-precision 4mil/4mil traces and complex 8-layer structures, UGPCB follows a strict standardized production process:
-
Inner Layer Preparation: Fabricate four rigid inner layers and four flexible inner layers separately. Использовать микротравление to treat the flexible board surface, ensuring trace adhesion.
-
Window Opening and Brown Oxide: Precisely cut windows in the bonding sheets for rigid and flexible areas to prevent excessive resin flow that could affect the flexibility of the flex areas.
-
Ламинирование: Использовать no-flow prepreg to bond rigid and flexible sections together under high temperature and pressure in a single or sequential lamination process, ensuring strong bonding without voids.
-
Сверление и покрытие: Использовать Рентген бурение to ensure Точность выравнивания of multiple layers. Then drill and remove smear, followed by electroless copper plating to achieve interlayer connection.
-
Маршрутизация: Use laser or controlled-depth routing to precisely mill away excess material in flexible areas, releasing the flexible sections.
Product Classification and Applications
Структурно, this product belongs to multi-layer rigid-flex boards (Тип 3 или 4 under IPC-6013 standards).
Основные сценарии применения:
