A rigid and soft combination board is a special circuit board that can do rigid and soft combination board manufacturers are relatively small, so there are many needs to do rigid and soft combination board companies can not find the corresponding rigid and soft combination board prototype manufacturers. The rigid and flexible board is a new type of printed circuit board with both the durability of rigid PCBs and the adaptability of Sang PCBs; in all types of printed circuit boards, the rigid and flexible board is the most resistant to harsh applications, and therefore favored by medical and military equipment manufacturers. Rigid-soft boards were first used in the field of battery modules, and nowadays, if we look at all cell phone brands around the world, the use of rigid-soft boards for batteries is already a consensus and may become a long-term trend. Especially in the Internet of Things era, diversified product demand means diversity in design solutions under the trend of thin and light, short, terminal brands to effectively enlarge the scale of the product; the demand for cost control also followed the junction of dual demand is not just a single niche, but magnified into a whole field with development prospects. The industry said that if the future of various types of intelligent products is used to image sensing functions, the required lens module market is as large as the opportunities for soft and hard combination boards. Therefore, choosing a manufacturer that can carry out the high-quality prototype and mass production of hard and soft PCBs is particularly important.
Rigid-soft PCB why special
Rigid-flex PCB is the best combination of the rigid circuit board and flexible circuit integrated into one circuit. The two-in-one circuit is interconnected by plated through holes. The advantages of its flex-rigid PCB include providing the best solution for finished products with limited space. This technology can securely connect device components while ensuring polarity and contact stability and reducing plug and connector components. Other advantages of rigid-soft bonding boards are:
- Higher component density and better quality control are offered.
- The resulting three-dimensional design freedom.
- Simplified installation.
- Space savings.
- The maintenance of uniform electrical characteristics.
In terms of material, equipment, and process, the hard bonded board differs from the original soft board and hardboard; in terms of material, the hardboard is made of FR4 or other material PCB, while the soft board is made of PI or PET, there are problems of bonding between the two materials and different shrinkage rate of hot pressing, which is a difficult point for the stability of the product. Axis direction stress considerations and Z-axis direction stress tolerance is also important consideration; there are material suppliers to PCB hard or soft board manufacturers to provide soft and hard combination board suitable improved materials, such as an epoxy resin (Epoxy) or improved resin (Resin) and other materials to meet the PCB hard or soft board bonding problems between.
According to the special characteristics of the combination of hard and soft PCB, the future in other consumer electronics products to see the opportunity to combine hard and soft boards will only be increasingly high; part of the industry revealed that now see the Internet of Things products, including smart audio and other smart home appliances, may be due to its design and cost requirements in specific functional modules using a combination of the hard and soft board.
The combination of hard and soft boards in the status of automotive electronics is rising; it is the original image of the PCB industry. The main reason is that the technology was not thought of for cell phone lens modules; there is an opportunity to extend to automotive ADAS lens modules and further attract the automotive components industry to the soft-hard combination of the board into the module products such as light up, transformed into the entry brick into the high-end automotive market.
ANPLLO is a PCB prototyping and mass-production manufacturer of hard and soft PCBs
Currently, most small and medium-sized operators in this field are competing, mainly because the market size is not large and does not have economies of scale for the leading manufacturers, putting this market in the stage of intense competition among manufacturers. ANPLLO is one such company, and we hope to keep up with the trend of the times.
We are launching our PCB quick sample service, which enhances the efficiency of every step from quotation to delivery. Valuable project time can be gained for customers and the entire supply chain. We have a team of highly qualified MI engineers with rich experience in PCB design and manufacturing. This ensures that MI files are produced and sent down to the factory for production in the full manufacturing process within one day. ANPLLO has its CNC machining center, thus greatly reducing the impact of mold opening time on sample delivery.
In high-volume mass production PCBs, we have our factories and investment and cooperation factories with a monthly production capacity of 60,000 sq. m. We can reach full volume production in 2023 with an annual capacity of 1.44 million sq. m. We can produce a wide range of products, basically covering high multilayer and HDI boards, high-frequency boards, high-speed boards, thick copper boards, metal substrates, flexible boards, rigid-flexible boards, and other special processes and special substrate products, which can be widely used in security electronics, industrial control, communication equipment, medical equipment, automotive electronics, rail transportation, artificial intelligence, Internet of things and other fields.
ANPLLO has a mature and perfect operation platform and management system to achieve international standards. We are the first to implement RoHS and IPC electronic manufacturing standards; we have passed ISO 9001:2015 quality system certification, IATF 16949:2016 quality management system for the automotive industry, ISO 13485:2016 quality management system for medical devices, and ISO 14001:2015 environmental management system international certification.
