Rigid printed circuit boards (PCBs) are the backbone of modern electronics. From computers and smartphones to industrial controls and medical devices, rigid PCBs provide the foundation for mounting and interconnecting electronic components. This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about rigid PCB materials, design, manufacturing, assembly, and testing. […]

Introduction Flexible printed circuits (FPCs) are thin, lightweight circuit boards made from flexible insulating substrate materials such as polyimide or polyester. They contain printed conductive tracks etched from copper foil laminated onto the substrate. FPCs can be bent, folded and twisted to fit into tight spaces and move dynamically within […]

Introduction Rigid-flex PCBs, also known as rigid-flexible printed circuit boards, are a hybrid of rigid PCBs and flexible PCBs. As the name suggests, rigid-flex PCBs provide both stiffness and flexibility in the same board. This enables them to take on complex 3D shapes and bend around objects, while still providing […]

FPC PCB (Flexible Printed Circuit Board) is a type of printed circuit board that is made of flexible and bendable material. Unlike traditional rigid PCBs, FPCs can be repeatedly flexed and bent without damage during use. FPCs are extremely thin, lightweight and ideal for applications where flexibility, space savings, and […]

Overview of Flex PCBs A flexible printed circuit board (flex PCB or flex circuit) is a type of printed circuit board that is made of flexible materials such as polyimide. Unlike rigid PCBs, flex PCBs can bend and flex while still maintaining their electrical connections. This allows them to be […]

What is a Flex PCB?  A flex PCB, also known as a flex circuit or flexible printed circuit board, is a type of printed circuit board that is made of a flexible insulating substrate material. The most common substrate materials used are polyimide or polyester films, such as Kapton or […]
