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).

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 ...

Advantages and applications of ultra-thin flexible PCBs. Materials used in ultra-thin flexible PCBs. As the name suggests, ultra-thin flexible PCBs are much thinner than standard PCBs, as well as ...

[Menadue] had a vintage Compucorp 326 calculator with an aging problem. Specifically, the flex cable that connects the button pad had turned corroded over time. However, thanks to the modern PCB ...

It is not a secret that flexible PC boards can bend. But despite the substrate’s flexibility, you can’t really fold them completely over. That bothered [Carl] so he developed a hinge design so that he ...

Expensive and complicated discrete interconnection cables can reduce a design’s reliability, increase design cost and increase over all design size. Fortunately there is an alternative in the form of ...
