Introduction Flexible printed circuit boards (flex PCBs) have become increasingly popular in modern electronic devices due to their ability to bend and flex to fit into tight spaces. As flex PCBs grow in popularity, designers are pushing the limits on their maximum size capabilities. But what determines the maximum size […]

Introduction When designing a printed circuit board (PCB), one of the most important considerations is choosing the right substrate material. The substrate material, also known as the base material, is what the copper traces are printed on to form the circuit board. The cost of the substrate material can have […]

Introduction Flex PCBs, or flexible printed circuit boards, are thin and bendable circuit boards used in various electronic devices where rigid boards would be impractical. Flex PCBs allow circuits to flex and bend to fit inside small spaces within a device. As devices get smaller and more compact, there is […]

Introduction A flexible printed circuit board (flex PCB or flex circuit) is a type of printed circuit board that is made of flexible insulating material rather than the rigid material used for traditional PCBs. Flex circuits can be bent and flexed to fit mechanically challenging spaces and move dynamically within […]

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are the foundation of modern electronics. They provide the mechanical structure and electrical connections between components in electronic devices. There are several types of PCBs, each with their own characteristics and applications. The four main types of PCBs are: 1. Single-sided PCBs Single-sided PCBs, as the […]

Introduction Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are essential components in electronics that provide mechanical support and electrical connections between electronic components. As technology advances, devices are getting smaller and require more flexible and compact PCB solutions. This has led to the development of flexible PCBs, which can bend and flex. The […]

What is a flex PCB? A flex PCB, or flexible printed circuit board, is a type of printed circuit board that is made of flexible insulating material rather than rigid FR-4 material. The circuits are printed or etched onto the flexible substrate which can then be bent and folded to […]

Flexible printed circuit boards (flex PCBs) have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their versatility and ability to bend and flex to fit into tight spaces. However, some wonder if the benefits of flex PCBs come at too high of a cost. In this article, we’ll examine the […]

Introduction A flex rigid PCB, also known as a rigid flex PCB, combines rigid and flexible PCB substrates into one circuit board. This allows the board to maintain rigidity while also bending and flexing in certain areas. Flex rigid PCBs provide several advantages such as improved reliability, space and weight […]

Introduction A flexible printed circuit board (flex PCB or flex circuit) is a type of printed circuit board made of flexible materials like polyimide. Flex PCBs can be bent, folded, twisted and shaped to fit into tight spaces and movable parts. They are ideal for products that require flexibility, like […]
