Introduction A flex circuit, also known as a flexible printed circuit board (PCB), is a type of circuitry that is designed to bend and flex. Flex circuits allow electronic connections in applications where rigid printed circuit boards would be impractical. They are used in a wide range of products including […]

Flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs), also known as flex PCBs or flex circuits, are printed circuits that are flexible and bendable. They offer many advantages over traditional rigid PCBs, such as improved reliability, dynamic flexing, and installation in tight spaces. However, these benefits come at a cost – flex PCBs […]

Introduction Rigid-flex PCBs combine rigid and flexible circuitry into a single structure, providing solutions for complex interconnect and packaging requirements. They allow three-dimensional configuration and dynamic flexing to optimize electrical performance and interconnect solutions not practical or possible with rigid boards alone. However, rigid-flex PCBs have unique design and manufacturing […]

What are Flex PCBs? A flexible printed circuit board (flex PCB or flex circuit) is a type of printed circuit board made of flexible insulating substrate materials like polyimide or polyester. The conductive pathways are printed or laminated onto the flexible substrate. Flex PCBs can be bent, twisted, and folded […]

Introduction to Rigid Flex PCBs A rigid flex PCB (also known as flex-rigid PCB) combines rigid and flexible PCB technologies into one circuit board. Rigid flex PCBs contain both rigid sections – made of typical PCB substrates like FR-4 – and flexible sections made of polyimide or other flexible dielectric […]

Introduction A flexible printed circuit board (FPCB), also known as a flex circuit, is a type of printed circuit board made from flexible polymer substrates like polyimide or polyester. Unlike traditional rigid PCBs, flex circuits can bend and flex to accommodate different form factors and spaces. Flex circuits are ideal […]

Rigid-flex printed circuit boards (PCBs) are becoming increasingly popular in modern electronic devices due to their many advantages over traditional rigid PCBs. In this in-depth guide, we’ll explore what rigid-flex PCBs are, why they are used, their benefits, and some best practices for designing and manufacturing them. What Are Rigid-Flex […]

Altium offers robust tools for designing rigid-flex printed circuit boards (PCBs). Rigid-flex PCBs provide a versatile solution, combining the stability of a rigid PCB with the flexibility of a flex PCB. In this article, we will explore what makes Altium well-suited for rigid-flex design and some of the key applications […]

Introduction to Flex PCBs A flexible printed circuit board (FPCB), also known as a flex circuit, is a type of printed circuit board that is made with flexible substrate materials. This allows the board to bend and flex while still maintaining electrical connections. Flex PCBs are widely used in modern […]

Introduction Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are essential components in nearly all modern electronics, from computers and smartphones to medical devices and vehicles. As electronic devices continue advancing in capabilities while shrinking in size, the PCBs inside them must evolve as well. This is where multech PCBs come into play. Multech […]
