Their use has a number of advantages. They are easy to install, they have smaller dimensions and weight. Besides, the cost of this type is much lower. Flexible PCBs can be used in various climatic conditions, as they can be made waterproof and shockproof.
Flexible-rigid PCBs combine the best characteristics of the previous types. However, they are much more difficult to manufacture. In their production, Saifon Technologies reinforces flexible PCBs with a rigid plate in the right place. This gives a more reliable electrical connection. Such PCB is durable and, at the same time, has small dimensions. It is this type that is preferably used for critical industries.
