Introduction Flexible printed circuits (FPCs), also known as flex circuits, are integral components of many modern electronic devices. From consumer electronics to medical devices, flex circuits enable compact and creative product designs through their thin, lightweight, and bendable properties. As products continue getting smaller and more complex, the demand for […]

A flex PCB (flexible printed circuit board) is a type of PCB that is flexible and can bend or fold. It is made of very thin layers of copper traces on a flexible dielectric substrate. Flex PCBs allow for more compact and dynamic circuit design and are commonly used in […]
Introduction Flex circuits, also known as flexible printed circuits (FPCs), are made from flexible materials that allow them to bend and flex. They are used in a variety of electronics when flexibility is required, like in cell phones, wearables, medical devices, and more. The materials used in flex circuits are […]
Flexible printed circuit boards (FPCBs), also known as flex circuits, are a type of printable circuitry that can bend and flex. They provide many advantages over traditional rigid printed circuit boards (PCBs) including flexibility, durability, weight savings, space savings, and design freedom. This article will provide an in-depth look at […]
Introduction Aircraft flex stiffeners are structural reinforcements installed on aircraft skins to increase stiffness and reduce flexing. They play a critical role in aircraft design by allowing for thinner and lighter skins without sacrificing strength or aerodynamic smoothness. In this article, we will discuss what flex stiffeners are, why they […]

Introduction Flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs) have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their ability to bend and flex to fit within tight spaces. 10 layer flexible PCBs take this technology even further, providing more layers for increased circuit complexity while still maintaining flexibility. In this comprehensive guide, […]
Introduction Flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs), also known as flex circuits, are made with flexible substrate materials that can bend and flex without damage. Single layer flex PCBs have a single conductive copper layer on one side of the flex substrate. They provide a simple and cost-effective solution for many […]
Flexible printed circuit boards (flex PCBs) allow circuitry to bend and flex to fit into tight or dynamic spaces. As electronics become smaller and more complex, flex PCBs have become increasingly popular options. While 2-4 layer flex PCBs meet many needs, advanced applications may require more layers. 8 layer flex […]
