Why Rigid Flex?

Signal Integrity

• Elimination of parasitic inductance and capacitance
• Preservation of signal speed, power and clarity

Weight/Space Reduction

• Contiguous flex material lighter than connectors and cables
• Same number of connections made in less “bulky” space

Assembly

• BOM simplification
• Reduction in number of required assembly steps
• Reduction in number of opportunities for error
• Reduction in number of required solder joints
