Choosing Between Rigid and Flex PCBs for Your Project

Introduction

Before selecting a PCB, consider design needs, durability, and cost.

1. When to Choose Rigid PCBs

• ✔️ If your product requires mechanical strength.
• ✔️ If cost efficiency is a major factor.
• ✔️ If no movement or bending is required.

2. When to Choose Flex PCBs

• ✔️ If compact or foldable designs are needed.
• ✔️ If the PCB must withstand frequent movement.
• ✔️ If reducing connectors and cables is important.

Conclusion

Each PCB type has its place. Rigid PCBs are best for durable, stationary applications, while Flex PCBs offer more design freedom and flexibility.
