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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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).

Printed circuit boards can be square, round, octagonal, or whatever shape you desire. But there’s little choice when it comes to the third dimension: most PCBs are flat and rigid. Sure, you can make ...

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.

We’ve reduced printed circuit board design to practice so much that we hardly give a thought to the details anymore. It’s so easy to bang out a design, send it to a fab house, and have ten boards in ...

Amphenol Printed Circuits (APC) will once again be bringing examples of their printed-circuit-board (PCB) design and ...

Taiwan-based Unitech Printed Circuit Board has utilized up to 80% of its available rigid-flex PCB manufacturing capacity to fulfill orders for TWS (true wireless stereo) earbuds including Apple's ...

This article is part of the TechXchange: PCB Tools and Technology. Many manufacturers still use the standard FR-4 material for their rigid boards because FR-4 materials are cost-efficient and highly ...

Samsung Electro-Mechanics (Semco) reportedly will phase out its rigid-flex PCB (RFPCB) business in 2021 amid unfavorable factors on both the supply and demand sides, according to industry sources.

As the global electronics industry continues to accelerate toward higher integration, miniaturization, and intelligent manufacturing in 2026, Shenzhen Uniwell Circuits Co., Ltd. has drawn increasing ...
