Today, let’s talk about the last factor contributing to the high cost of rigid-flex PCB: overall manufacturing yield.
Rigid-flex PCB combine materials with very unstable dimensional characteristics. Bonding these different materials together requires extensive experience, specialized equipment, and software tools. Even so, the manufacturing yield of rigid-flex PCB is still lower than that of traditional rigid boards or flexible circuits.
Therefore, carefully selecting materials and customizing them according to the specific needs of the application can effectively reduce the overall manufacturing cost of rigid-flex PCB. The fewer types and quantities of materials used, the lower the manufacturing cost will be. We recommend working closely with your rigid-flex PCB manufacturer to explore whether raw material costs can be simplified according to your specific needs.
