Abstract
A rigid flex printed circuit board wherein the flex section of said board comprises a basestock composite with edges formed by laminating a conductive layer to a flexible insulator layer, the conductor layer containing at least one conductive pathway and the flexible insulator layer comprises fibers dispersed in a matrix polymer. The fibers are oriented with respect to the conductive pathway so that the conductive pathway is substantially non-aligned with said fibers, substantially along an entirety of the conductive pathway in the flex section so as to be flexible.
