Introduction Flexible printed circuit boards (flex boards or flex circuits) have become an essential component in modern electronics due to their ability to bend and flex. Flex circuits allow circuitry to move freely and dynamically within a product. They are most commonly found in smaller consumer devices like cell phones, […]
Introduction Flex PCBs (flexible printed circuit boards) are gaining popularity for their ability to bend and flex to fit into tight or moving spaces. As devices get smaller and more complex, flex PCBs provide the perfect interconnect solution. However, getting an accurate flex PCB quote online can be challenging with […]
Flexible printed circuit boards (FPCBs) allow electronic connections in applications where rigid boards would be impractical. High-density interconnect (HDI) flex boards take this technology even further, providing advantages like: With their compact construction and flexibility, HDI flex circuits empower innovations in consumer tech, medical devices, aerospace systems, and more. This […]

What is Rigid Flex PCB? A rigid flex PCB (also known as rigid flex circuit board or flex-rigid PCB) is a printed circuit board that consists of multiple layers of flexible polymer and rigid FR4 laminates. These circuit boards provide flexibility in certain areas of the PCB while maintaining rigidity […]
Introduction Flexible circuits, also known as flex circuits, are a type of printed circuit board that can bend and flex. They are made from flexible dielectric materials like polyimide or polyester rather than rigid boards like FR-4. Flex circuits enable unique form factors, moving parts, and dynamic flexing in electronic […]
Introduction Flexible printed circuits (FPCs) have become an integral part of modern electronics due to their ability to bend and flex to fit into tight spaces.
