Introduction to Rigid Flex PCBs A rigid-flex printed circuit board (PCB) combines rigid and flexible substrates to create a circuit board that can bend and flex. Rigid-flex PCBs provide solutions for complex interconnect and space/weight requirements that cannot be achieved with rigid PCBs alone. Some key benefits of rigid-flex PCBs: […]

Introduction Flex circuits, also known as flexible printed circuits (FPCs), are a type of printed circuit board (PCB) made with flexible dielectric materials. Unlike traditional rigid PCBs, flex circuits can bend and flex to fit mechanical designs with dynamic parts or tight spaces. Multilayer flex circuits take this technology a […]

Introduction to FR4 Flex Circuits FR4 flex circuits, also known as flexible printed circuits (FPCs), are made from a dielectric base of FR4 material that is laminated with copper traces and connectors. The FR4 base provides the circuit with rigidity and structure, while the copper laminate allows for the routing […]

Introduction Flex circuit boards, also known as flexible printed circuits (FPCs), are an essential component in modern electronics. As devices continue getting smaller and more compact, flex circuits allow for connections and circuitry in tight spaces where rigid boards just won’t fit. The flexible nature of these boards also allows […]

What is a Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC)? A flexible printed circuit (FPC) is a type of electronic circuitry that is printed or bonded onto a flexible substrate like polyimide or polyester. The flexible substrate allows the circuit to bend and flex while still maintaining electrical connectivity. FPCs are often used […]

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 […]
