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 ...

This white paper is designed to guide you through the intricacies of rigid-flex printed circuit board (PCB) design. In today’s electronics industry, there has never been more demand for compact, ...

PCBs are rigid plates to connect electronic circuitry while the most common basic characteristic of the human body is its flexibility. Mixing the two in wearable medical devices will need rigid-flex ...

Are you thinking of using a rigid/flex format for a PCB? If so, the first and most obvious answer to the question ‘why?’ is to make use of the flexibility and to permit movement between two ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
