Abstract

A method and structure for a surface mountable rigid-flex printed circuit board is disclosed. A rigid-flex circuit board is mounted onto a printed circuit board using standard surface mount technology such as ball grid array, pin grid array or solder screen print. The use of rigid-flex board allows tested, burned in components to be used while still allowing a small multiple chip module footprint.
