Flexible PCB Stiffeners

What Are Flexible PCB Stiffeners?

Flexible PCB stiffeners provide mechanical support and rigidity to specific areas of flex circuits. This guide explores why and how stiffeners are utilized. It covers common stiffener materials like FR-4, polyimide (PI), and metals like stainless steel/aluminum, detailing their properties. Learn when stiffeners are needed – for mounting components, meeting ZIF connector specs, or controlling bend areas. Discover attachment methods like thermal bonding and pressure-sensitive adhesives. Properly applied stiffeners enhance flex PCB reliability, durability and performance.
