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 ...

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 ...

This ebook provides a comprehensive overview of flex PCBs, highlighting their unique benefits, materials used, common challenges, and how you can overcome them. Learn about the various applications of ...

It’s getting harder to fit everything in the box; it’s also getting more costly. One solution promising to help designers meet the size constraint head on is rigid-flex PCB technology, but most design ...

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 ...

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).

TOKYO, July 28, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OKI Circuit Technology (President: Masaya Suzuki, Head office: Tsuruoka, Yamagata Prefecture, "OTC" hereinafter), the OKI Group’s printed circuit board (PCB) ...

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 ...

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.

Rigid-flex PCBs have a structure that combines a thin, light, soft, and durable flexible circuit board (FPC, Note 1) made from insulating film, with a high-strength rigid PCB. This structure allows ...
