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).

Senior Technology Editor Bill Wong talks with Elecrow’s Jarvan Hu about the development and manufacturing side of flexible PCBs, and the role his company plays in such efforts. Printed-circuit-board ...

The 2019 Hackaday Prize, which was announced last week, is very much on everyone’s mind, so much so that we’ve already gotten a great response with a lot of really promising early entries. As much as ...

Space savings, greater reliability, low mass, and high ductility are some of the advantages offered by flexible PCBs, but designers must also prepare for their complexity. Flexible printed circuit ...

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 ...

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.

In the last blog on rigid-flex PCBs, I talked about the fabrication processes typically used by board houses. It’s important to understand the steps required to build up a rigid-flex or flex circuit ...

Dublin, Oct. 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Technology Landscape, Trends and Opportunities in the Global Flexible PCB Market" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. This report ...

Rigid-Flex can have many benefits, and many designers are at least considering it today who previously did not have to. More PCB designers are facing higher pressures to build ever more densely ...

There are many powerful and easy-to-use electronic design automation (EDA) software packages available for PCB designers today. Here's a closer look at some. There are many powerful and easy-to-use ...
