Our rigid-flex domestic and international PCB suppliers manufacture advanced-technology circuit boards that consist of multiple layers of flexible circuit substrates attached to one or more rigid boards. The depth and breadth of specialties available include microwave and Microwave RF boards, heat sinks and thermal management, controlled impedance, HDI blind or buried vias, carbon ink PCBs and edge plating / castellation. Further, our medical and healthcare-focused suppliers add flexible heating capability, flat flex and membrane switches, plastic moldings, EO sterilization, battery monitoring and more. The markets we serve are constantly evolving and demand time-critical and technologically superior printed circuit boards. Scroll down for categories and technical specifications.
