Introduction Flex circuits, also known as flexible printed circuits (FPCs), are a type of printable electronic interconnect component used to connect electronic devices. Flex circuits provide similar functionality to rigid printed circuit boards (PCBs) but have the ability to flex and bend. This flexibility allows them to be used in […]

Introduction Flex PCBs (flexible printed circuit boards) are a critical technology that enables flexible circuits and connections in modern electronic devices. As products continue getting smaller and more portable, flex PCBs have become indispensable for smart wearables, folded displays, and devices with moving parts. However, flex PCB design brings unique […]

Introduction to Flexible Printed Circuits Flexible printed circuits (FPCs) are electrical interconnectors made from flexible materials like polyimide that can be bent, folded or twisted to fit into tight or dynamic spaces. They provide electrical connections between components in flexible and wearable electronics, medical devices, aerospace systems and more. Compared […]

Introduction to Semi Rigid Flex PCBs A semi rigid flex PCB is a type of printed circuit board that combines rigid and flexible materials to create a hybrid design. These boards provide the benefits of both rigid boards, like stability and ease of assembly, along with the advantages of flex […]

Introduction A rigid flexible printed circuit board (rigid flex PCB) combines rigid and flexible circuit boards into a single structure. Rigid sections provide mechanical support while flexible sections allow dynamic flexing, twisting and bending. This enables rigid flex PCBs to fit into tight spaces and complex form factors. They are […]

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 […]
