With the globe continuing to witness the miniaturization of circuitry and electronics, the conformal coating PCB seems to have skyrocketed like never before. Manufacturers apply conformal coatings to shield a PCB from moisture, extreme temperatures, and dust. Choosing the best type of surface to use is vital. However, weeding through plenty of information found online can be …
As electronics continue to shrink and the demand for miniaturized devices increases, surface-mount components have become integral in PCB assemblies due to their tiny size. Unlike THT (Through-Hole Technology) components, surface-mount devices sit directly on the PCB surface because they have small lead frames. This frame design makes them occupy smaller real estate on the …
Many times, appliance manufacturers look for information on OEM flexible PCB assembly. And the reason for the search is that the OEM is sometimes a different entity from the assembler. Take, for example, a mobile phone company that outsources PCB manufacturing to another company. Doing so gives them quality products while saving money for other …
A flex PCB connector is an integral part of the electronic device industry. That’s especially because today, more than ever, there’s an increasing demand for compact and lightweight devices. In turn, this necessitates the use of more flexible and high-density interconnects. The ideal connector system for any flexible circuit design depends on factors like retention …
The Flex PCB cable is a handy device that’s one of the options you have for connecting PCBs. See, you cannot directly connect two boards. Yet it would be best to do that often to transfer signal current from one board to another. Read on to learn more about this linking method, including how it …
When designing and manufacturing PCBs, people are left wondering and undecided on the best approach to mounting batteries on flex PCB. They don’t know that the task is straightforward and requires only a reliable battery. But why mount a battery on your flex PCB? Generally, manufacturers design and develop mobile and wearable devices that draw …
Understanding the component of a flex PCB is critical since it determines the function and operation of the PCB. And the best designers and engineers know that efficient electronic device starts with selecting the best PCB components. Generally, a circuit board has many components that we can broadly categorize as mechanical and electrical. The mechanical …
Every circuit board engineer or designer should understand how to connect wires to flex PCB. Generally, PCB wiring involves two significant aspects: The conductors and connectors. The conductor is essential in carrying signals and power through the circuit board, while connectors affix conductors and other components. While connecting wires to flex PCB, manufacturers fail to …
How to solder on flexible PCB is a commonly asked question, considering how fragile these boards are and how tiny the components are. So if you’re wondering how to get it right, this article outlines DIY steps to solder onto a flex PCB, some design and layout considerations, and tips to ensure you make no …
Although LED strips are usually PCB-based, there’s the option of flex LED PCB assembly, with which you can custom design your flexible PCB with LED lighting. And because of the advantages of such boards and the numerous applications, there’s been a rise in the demand, which has led to an increase in its components and …
