What is the difference between rigid and flexible printed circuit board designs?

Answer:

In the same volume, soft PCB and wire cable ratio, under the same load, the weight can be reduced by about 70%, compared with the rigid PCB, weight reduction of about 90%.
In the assembly even, with the use of wire cable, conductor section soft PCB thin and flat, reducing the wire size, and along the shell forming, make the device more compact and reasonable structure, reduces the volume even installed. Compared with rigid PCB, the space can be saved by 60~90%.
A significant advantage of the application of soft PCB is that it can be more convenient in three-dimensional space line and assembly, but also can be curled or folded up. As long as the radius of curvature within the allowable radius of curvature, can be used for thousands to tens of thousands of times without damage.
When the soft PCB is connected, the wiring can be reduced on the three planes of X, Y and Z, so that the switching interconnection is reduced, and the reliability of the whole system is increased.
Connected with the soft PCB, eliminating the error of wire cable connection. As long as the processing drawings after proofreading, all produced after the winding circuit are the same. When the connection line is not wrong.
