Flex/Rigid Flex PCB
Cleveland Circuit specializes in Flexible Circuits, often referred to as Flex or Rigid Flex.
A Flex PCB is commonly manufactured using a Polyimide laminate and varies in thickness from 0.001″ to 0.020″. Rigid Flex is a flex circuit sandwiched between two rigid PCB’s.
Cleveland Circuits has the ability to manufacture flexible circuits up to 28″ in length, with a lead time as little as 5 days. Flexible circuits are ideal for any application that needs to have a small foot print or needs the ability to continually bend during operation.
Industries that we serve are Aerospace, Medical and Automotive applications.
Cleveland Circuits works directly with flex material manufacturers, therefore skipping the traditional distribution chain. This relationship allows us to achieve a more competitive price structure for complex flex technologies.

Flex PCB Applications
- Wire Harness Replacement: A lightweight, space-saving alternative to bulky wire harnesses.
- Rigid Assembly Substitute: Replace hardboards, connectors, and cables with rigid-flex or flex with stiffeners.
- Integrated Grounding: Conductor patterns can serve as shields or ground planes to reduce EMI.
- Signal Integrity: Ideal for high-speed applications with matched-impedance requirements.
- Compact Connectivity: Use as miniature jumpers in tight, intricate board layouts.
Flex PCB Benefits
- Reliable Performance: Built for consistency in demanding environments.
- Precision Fit: Enables repeatable, accurate installations.
- Extreme Conditions Ready: Resists heat, moisture, and harsh operating conditions.
- Vibration Resistant: Maintains integrity under high-vibration scenarios.
- Stable Electrical Properties: Uniform impedance, reduced noise, and minimal crosstalk.
- Cost-Effective Assembly: Simplifies builds and cuts production costs.
- Space & Weight Savings: Perfect for compact, lightweight designs.
- Designed to Flex: Supports dynamic and continuous flexing needs.
