Rigid-Flex Technology integrates Flexible Circuit into Rigid Board Technology. Especially in combination with the well-established Micro Via Sequential Build Up Technology, the form factor can be reduced while offering high routing density.
This optimizes the number of flexible layers, which reduces flex material content compared to Standard Multilayer Flex Technology, while at the same time design rules and final circuit board properties, especially reliability, are comparable to Micro Via Technology.
As a major player within the Micro Via and Flexible Circuit Segments Senkentek has all needed technical know how to be a competent advisor and supplier for Rigid Flex Technology.
