Rigid-flex circuit technology is chosen when a compact or moving assembly cannot rely on a rigid board alone.
Gekunflex supports rigid-flex circuit technology from prototype to volume production, covering stack-up, coverlay, and assembly notes.
PCB Copper Plating Process for Reliable Conduction
Introduction Copper plating is the step that turns drilled holes into conductive paths. A controlled copper layer is deposited on hole walls and trace surfaces, so every plated through hole carries current and every trace stays intact after bending. In [flexible circuits](https://gekunflex.com/flexible-circuit/), flex PCB copper plating carries an extra burden: it has to hold up under repeated flexing and[...]
Flexible PCB Material Preparation: Cutting and Cleaning Process
Flexible PCB material preparation is the first production step in flex manufacturing. It covers incoming inspection, polyimide base material preparation, cutting to panel size, edge trimming and surface cleaning. Done well, it protects yield in etching, lamination and coverlay alignment. This guide explains the materials, cutting methods, flex PCB cutting cleaning controls and inspection criteria. Flexible PCB Material[...]
