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).

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 ...

What are single- and double-sided PCBs and how do they differ? What are the advantages of symmetrical and thin layer structures? How materials influence PCB selection. The choice of PCB design is an ...

Back in March, the call went out: take your wiggliest, floppiest, most dimensionally compliant idea, and show us how it would be better if only you could design it around a flexible PCB. We weren’t ...

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, ...

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 ...

More than ever before, product experiences are being driven by customer interaction (i.e., seeing, touching) with the physical, mechanical model. The necessity to constantly satisfy the senses of the ...
