Top 10 global rigid-flex PCB manufacturers
What is a rigid-flex PCB? According to Google, “a rigid-flex PCB is a hybrid circuit board combining elements of both flexible circuit boards and rigid circuit boards, with an end result of a board that is able to be folded or continuously flexed and is normally formed into a flexed shape or curve during the manufacturing process.” Major global rigid-flex PCB manufacturers include Nippon Mektron, Unimicron, Young Poong Group, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, and Nanya PCB, etc. Let’s have a deep look one by one!
