Introduction Flexible printed circuits (FPCs), also known as flex circuits, are printed circuits that are made on flexible substrates like polyimide or polyester films. Flex circuits can be bent, folded or twisted to fit into tight spaces and movable applications. They provide solutions for electronic packaging that need to meet […]

An In-Depth Look at How Flex Circuit Costs Are Calculated Flexible printed circuit boards (flex PCBs) offer many advantages over traditional rigid PCBs, such as flexibility, reduced weight, and the ability to fit into tight spaces. However, these benefits come at a cost – flex circuits tend to be more […]

Introduction Flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs), also known as flex circuits, are made with flexible dielectric substrates. Coverlay is a protective layer laminated over the surface of a flex PCB to prevent oxidation and provide mechanical support. Coverlay flex PCBs have become ubiquitous in modern electronic devices due to their […]

Introduction A flexible printed circuit board (flex PCB) is a technology that allows circuits to be assembled on flexible and bendable substrates. Flex PCBs provide several advantages over traditional rigid PCBs such as reduced weight, space savings, improved reliability and the ability to conform to dynamic surfaces. As flex PCB […]

Flexible printed circuits (FPCs), also known as flex circuits, are a type of printable circuitry made using flexible insulating substrate materials such as polyimide film. Compared to traditional rigid printed circuit boards (PCBs), flex circuits can bend and flex to fit into tight or movable spaces in electronic devices. Flex […]

Introduction Rigid circuit boards, also known as printed circuit boards (PCBs), are essential components in nearly all modern electronic devices. A rigid circuit board provides a flat surface onto which integrated circuits and other electronic components can be mounted and connected together with conductive traces. The rigidity of the board […]

Introduction Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are essential components in electronic devices and systems. In recent years, flexible PCBs (flex PCBs) have become increasingly popular due to their durability, flexibility, and space-saving abilities. Oshpark is a well-known PCB manufacturer that offers high-quality flex PCB prototyping and small-volume production services. In this […]

Rigid flex circuits, also known as rigid flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs), are a unique type of printed circuit board that offer the benefits of both rigid and flexible PCBs. As the name suggests, rigid flex circuits consist of both rigid and flexible substrates that are laminated together into a […]

Introduction Rigid flex printed circuit boards, also known as rigid flex PCBs or flex-rigid PCBs, are a type of printed circuit board that combines rigid and flexible substrate materials. This allows the PCB to have both a rigid section and a flexible section. Rigid flex PCBs provide a number of […]

Finding high-quality, yet affordable flexible printed circuit boards (flex PCBs) can be a challenge. Flex PCBs enable creative and compact product designs by allowing circuitry to bend and flex. However, the manufacturing process requires special materials and techniques, which can drive up costs. With some savvy sourcing strategies, you can […]
