Flexible PCB Manufacturing
Define how the flex circuit will be installed and used.
Flexible circuit board fabrication for space-constrained products and interconnections. Bring the electrical design together with the bend areas, stiffeners, connector interfaces, and installed shape.
Your build brief
Define the Next Build
- Fabrication and drill data
- Flex construction and material specification
- Bend and stiffener drawing
- Quantity, intended use, and assembly requirements
Engineering focus
Make the Manufacturing Scope Clear
01
Installed Shape
Show where the flexible circuit bends, the intended bend direction, and its mechanical envelope. Distinguish a one-time installation bend from movement during normal product use.
02
Local Support
Identify stiffeners, connector insertion areas, and supported component regions. The design package should explain where the circuit must remain flat and where it is allowed to flex.
03
Fabrication & Assembly Handoff
Document the conductor layers, coverlay requirements, openings, and finished construction. If components are to be mounted, include the assembly handling and support requirements.

What to Define Before Release
| Requirement | What to Define |
|---|---|
| Flex duty | Installation-only bend or movement in normal use. |
| Mechanical details | Bend locations, stiffeners, connector area, and installed outline. |
| Construction notes | Material, layer arrangement, coverlay, and copper requirements. |

Project questions
Flexible PCB Manufacturing FAQ
Can I use one bend rule for every flex construction?
Bend behavior depends on construction and use. Supply the mechanical requirements for review instead of treating a single generic radius as an approved rule.
What if my circuit includes rigid sections?
Use the rigid-flex service path and provide the rigid and flexible regions, transition areas, and stackup together.
