Introduction Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are essential components in electronic devices that provide the necessary electrical connections between various components. Flex PCBs (also known as flex circuits) are a type of PCB that utilize flexible substrate materials that can bend and flex. This allows them to be used in applications […]

Introduction Rigid-flex PCBs combine rigid and flexible substrates to create lightweight, three dimensional circuit boards that can be customized for a wide range of applications. With KiCad, open source PCB design software, designers can create professional rigid-flex designs with advanced features like flex bends, stiffeners, and split planes. This guide […]

Introduction to Flex Circuits Flexible printed circuit boards (flex PCBs or flex circuits) are a type of printed circuit board that is made with flexible dielectric materials such as polyimide or polyester. This allows the board to flex and bend to fit into tight or moving spaces in electronic devices. […]

Introduction Flex PCBs, short for flexible printed circuit boards, are made from flexible dielectric materials like polyimide that allow the board to bend and flex. They are useful for applications where the circuit needs to move or adapt to different shapes. However, for some applications, the flex PCB may need […]

What are Rigid PCBs? A printed circuit board (PCB) is a thin board made of fiberglass or other insulating material used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components using conductive tracks, pads and other features. Rigid PCBs are the most common type of PCBs and provide a sturdy base […]

Introduction Flexible printed circuit boards (FPCBs) are a type of printed circuit board that can bend and flex. Unlike traditional rigid circuit boards, FPCBs allow circuits to move and twist along with other components they are attached to. This makes them perfect for use in things like wearable devices, folding […]

Introduction to Flexible PCBs A flexible printed circuit board (PCB), also known as a flex circuit or flexible circuit, is a type of circuitry made from flexible materials such as polyimide or polyester. Unlike rigid PCBs made from materials like FR4, flex circuits can bend and flex while still maintaining […]

Flexible printed circuits (FPCs) are an essential component in modern electronics. As devices continue getting smaller and more compact, FPCs allow for circuitry to bend and flex with the device. With their growing popularity, there is increasing demand for high-quality flexible printed circuit manufacturers. In this guide, we will explore […]

Flexible printed circuit boards (flex PCBs) provide numerous advantages over traditional rigid PCBs, including improved reliability, dynamic flexing, and compact form factors. However, sourcing flex PCB prototypes and small batches can be challenging due to long lead times and high costs from fabricators. This guide covers strategies for obtaining quick […]

What are Rigid-Flex Circuit Boards? Rigid-flex circuit boards, also known as rigid-flex circuits or flex-rigid boards, are a type of printed circuit board (PCB) that consist of rigid and flexible substrates laminated together. This allows the PCB to maintain its shape while also being able to flex and bend along […]
