In today’s era of rapid technological development, rigid printed circuit boards have become an indispensable part of electronic products. So, what exactly is a rigid printed circuit board?

What is a rigid printed circuit board?

Rigid printed circuit board is an electronic component composed of an insulating substrate, a conductor layer and a copper clad layer. Compared with flexible printed circuit boards, the main feature of rigid printed circuit boards is that the substrate material is usually fiberglass laminated board or epoxy resin board, which has high mechanical strength and stability.
Characteristics of rigid printed circuit boards
High mechanical strength: Rigid printed circuit boards use solid substrate materials and have high mechanical strength, making them suitable for electronic products with high stability requirements.

Good thermal stability: Rigid printed circuit boards can maintain stable performance at higher temperatures and are suitable for electronic equipment in high-temperature environments.

Easy to assemble: The structure of the rigid printed circuit board is stable, which facilitates the welding and assembly of components and improves production efficiency.

Excellent electrical performance: The distance between the conductor layers of the rigid printed circuit board is short, the signal transmission speed is fast, and the electrical performance is excellent.
Application areas of rigid printed circuit boards

Rigid printed circuit boards are widely used in various electronic products, including but not limited to:
Computer and communication equipment: Rigid printed circuit boards are required in electronic equipment such as motherboards, routers, switches, etc.

Consumer electronics: Consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablets, digital cameras, etc. also require rigid printed circuit boards to support their functionality.

Industrial control equipment: Rigid printed circuit boards are also widely used in industrial automation equipment, robots and other fields.

Medical equipment: Rigid printed circuit boards are also commonly used in medical equipment such as medical imaging equipment and electrocardiographs.
As an important component of electronic products, rigid printed circuit boards play an irreplaceable role in various fields, providing important support for the stable operation and efficient performance of electronic equipment.
