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 …
The electronics industry is full of debates and comparisons, with the latest being the semi-flex vs. flex PCB. Although these two boards have similarities, major differences arise, especially concerning design and applications. For instance, a semi-flex PCB, as the name suggests, combines some characteristics of flexible PCBs and rigid options. In short, their manufacturing process …
The ever-evolving trends in the electronics industry gave rise to a new type of multilayer circuit, the multilayer rigid, flexible PCB. Like the standard multilayer PCB, this circuit board provides the flexibility that’s the cornerstone of many design concepts. In addition, it weighs much less and takes up minimal space, enabling component and circuitry density, …
You have a wide array of choices when designing a wholesale rigid-flex PCB. However, few will guarantee you a top-notch product for your application. Moreover, errors become apparent when you manufacture the rigid-flex in bulk. So what steps must one take when making wholesale rigid-flex PCBs? Well, we have all you need in today’s article. …
The transparent flex PCB market is rapidly expanding as appliance manufacturers look for new ways to win over customers. Some sections of the electronics market are eager to have lightweight and transparent devices. And to achieve this, electronics manufacturers are turning toward transparent printed circuit boards. Moreover, transparent circuit boards are finding greater use in …
Engineers must use a flexible or semi-flex PCB when designing compact electronics and devices with tighter spaces. From their names, we can tell that both flexible circuit boards and semi-flex boards can bend and twist thanks to their flexible materials. However, when fabricating semi-flex circuit boards, manufacturers combine traditional board fabrication processes like drilling, etching, …
Wholesale flex PCBs are finding common applications in electronics design thanks to their versatility and high flexibility. These boards are lightweight and thin; you can fold them into multiple shapes to fit different spaces. Generally, wholesale flex circuit boards have benefits for buyers and manufacturers. The manufacturers won’t spend much time redesigning each board to …
An aluminum flex-rigid PCB is a hybrid board that blends the thermal conductivity and rigidity of aluminum boards and the flexibility of aluminum flexible boards. Generally, the boards find application in high-performance electronics that requires high conductivity but have limited space. Normally, the rigid part of this PCB consists of aluminum, while the flexible parts …
If you have been keen enough, you have noted how PCB manufacturers are designing new products daily, with the latest product being flexible aluminum PCB. Generally, an aluminum circuit board uses an aluminum core as the base material and an FR-4 as the insulating component. Moreover, the PCB has a thermal-clad layer responsible for heat …
