High-quality semi-flex printed circuit boards (pcb) are reliable and bendable, made entirely with FR-4. Products are more cost effective than traditional connecting materials for rigid pcbs, such as cables (discrete or flat), crimps, connectors, binders and labels. Products deliver higher reliability than cables and connectors, and are also easier to assemble and integrate into boxes and housings. Products are a suitable solution for mounting two pcbs in a unit at an angle. A single FR-4 semi-flex pcb can be safely bent a sufficient number of times to allow installation and subsequent maintenance as needed. Product serves a wide variety of industries including telecom, wireless, transportation, industrial, medical, lighting, consumer electronics, energy, IOT and many others.
