Bend area
Bend radius, copper direction and coverlay design affect reliability.
Rigid-flex FPC projects combine flexible routing with rigid support areas, stiffeners or assembly-friendly mechanical reinforcement.
Rigid-flex FPC requirements are often decided by installation method, connector load, bend area and product housing. XTFPC reviews drawings, Gerber data, stiffener material, adhesive and assembly needs before confirming feasibility and price.
If the structure includes rigid support but not a full rigid PCB process, describe it clearly in the drawing. That helps avoid overquoting and keeps the project aligned with FPC manufacturing capability.
Bend radius, copper direction and coverlay design affect reliability.
PI, FR4, steel or other support material changes cost and process route.
Connector force and installation method affect assembly support design.
Use these examples to describe whether your project needs rigid support areas, connector assembly, high-density pads or long flexible routing.
