Overview of Rigid Flex Circuits A rigid flex assembly is a type of printed circuit board that consists of rigid and flexible substrates laminated together into a single structure. The rigid sections provide mechanical support while the flexible sections allow dynamic flexing and movement. Rigid flex assemblies provide solutions for […]
Introduction Printed circuit boards (PCBs) form the backbone of all electronic devices and equipment. From smartphones to medical devices to space satellites, PCBs provide the necessary electrical connections between components that allow the overall system to function. While traditionally rigid, new flexible PCB (FPCB) technology is enabling smaller, lighter, and […]

Introduction to Flex PCBs A flex PCB, also known as a flexible printed circuit board, is a type of PCB that can bend and flex. Flex PCBs are made from flexible materials like polyimide instead of rigid materials like FR4. This allows them to be folded, twisted, and shaped to […]
Introduction to Rigid-Flex PCBs Rigid-flex PCBs, also known as flex-rigid PCBs or flex circuits, combine rigid and flexible circuit boards into a single assembly. They provide solutions for applications that require: Rigid-flex PCBs allow the rigid sections to provide mechanical support and mounting surfaces, while the flex sections interconnect the […]
Introduction Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are the backbone of modern electronics. They provide the foundation on which components are mounted and interconnected. Traditionally, PCBs have been made from rigid fiberglass. However, new materials and manufacturing techniques have enabled a new generation of ultra thin flexible PCBs that open up exciting […]

Introduction Flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs), also known as flex circuits, are increasingly being used in modern electronics due to their many advantages. As opposed to rigid PCBs, flex circuits can bend and flex to accommodate limited space and allow movement. Common applications include consumer electronics, medical devices, automotive electronics, […]
Introduction Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are essential components in most electronic devices. They provide the mechanical support and electrical connections between electronic components. While rigid PCBs are the most common, flexible and semi-flexible PCBs are gaining popularity due to their unique characteristics and advantages in certain applications. Semi-flexible PCBs, as […]
Introduction Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are an essential component of most modern electronic devices. They provide the physical platform to mount and interconnect electronic components using conductive copper traces etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate. Traditional rigid PCBs serve most purposes well, but they lack flexibility and […]

Introduction Flexible printed circuit boards (flex PCBs) are a type of printed circuit board made from flexible materials like polyimide that can bend and flex. Flex PCBs allow connections between electronics in applications where rigid boards would be impractical. They are commonly used in consumer electronics, medical devices, aerospace applications, […]
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are essential components in nearly all modern electronics. PCBs provide the foundation onto which microchips, capacitors, resistors and other components are mounted. They contain the conductive pathways or traces that electrically connect all the components. PCBs come in two main types – flexible PCBs and rigid […]
