The now-humble PCB was revolutionary when it came along, and the whole ecosystem that evolved around it has been a game changer in electronic design. But the PCB is just so… flat. Planar.

Building electronics in unconventional form factors with high packaging density is possible thanks to three-dimensional circuit designs using flex and rigid-flex printed circuit boards (PCBs).

Flexible circuits have been around longer than you might expect, although they only recently rounded the bend and bounced into the hobbyist’s toolbox. When Boldport fanatic [Laura Lindzey] found out ...

This ebook provides a comprehensive overview of flex PCBs, highlighting their unique benefits, materials used, common challenges, and how you can overcome them. Learn about the various applications of ...

Orbotech, a KLA company, has announced two new roll-to-roll (R2R) manufacturing solutions for flexible printed circuit (FPCs), enabling the design and mass production of new generations of electronic ...

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — Noting the increasing use of flex PCBs in applications requiring small form factors, Mentor Graphics Corp. has incorporated flex and rigid-flex PCB design capabilities into its ...

- Addresses heat dissipation issues for heat-generating components in vacuum environments - Rigid-flex PCBs have a structure that combines a thin, light, soft, and durable flexible circuit board (FPC, ...

Rigid-Flex PCBs have been used in many modern electronic devices (such as mobile phones, laptops, and wearables, among others), due to their form factor, light weight, and cost-effectiveness.

OKI Circuit Technology (OTC) has launched rigid-flex printed circuit boards (PCBs) with embedded copper “coins” that offer improved heat dissipation for rockets and satellite-mounted equipment ...

Most every device and electronic piece of equipment is outfitted with a printed circuit board (PCB), including smartphones, TVs, appliances, and more. You know the composite. The boards are laminated ...
