Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of rigid-flex PCBs.

The disadvantages of rigid flex PCB include higher cost compared to traditional flexible and rigid PCBs and the need for additional support during SMT assembly. However, the advantages of rigid flex PCB, such as space-saving, improved signal transmission, and simplified assembly, make it a valuable choice for high-density and high signal accuracy requirement boards. Additionally, the recent development of endoscope technology provides non-destructive inspection for solder joints on rigid flex PCB.
