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 ...

In today’s electronics industry, compact, efficient, and versatile PCBs are in high demand. Rigid-flex technology allows engineers to design boards that bend and flex without compromising performance ...

A flex circuit, also known as a flexible electronic or a flex board, is both a product and a type of PCB technology. This technology allows for the mounting of electronic devices and circuits on ...

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 cables and flex PCBs are wonderful. You could choose to carefully make a cable bundle out of ten wires and try to squish them to have a thin footprint – or you could put an FFC connector onto ...

The advent of microcontroller modules like the Arduino opened up ability to build and program interactive objects to a whole generation of makers. Today these modules make it simple to control ...

Though threading is a old concept in computer science, and fabric computing has been a term for about thirty years, the terminology has so far been more metaphorical than strictly descriptive. [Cedric ...

For reliability, designers must create flex circuits that are neither too thick nor bend too much. • Every flex circuit has a neutral-bend axis. • Smaller circuit thickness reduces the risk of damage ...

Smaller electronic footprints are the rule today. Cellular phones and personal entertainment players are perhaps the most visible examples, but the same trend can be seen in medical and aerospace ...
