For the mobile market, some PCB assemblies have been converted to flex circuit assemblies, in part because flex circuit assemblies can be twisted or bent to meet the needs of the application.

ETCO Incorporated has introduced a line of connectors for attaching wires to laminates and other flexible circuits that must ...

Most every device and electronic piece of equipment is outfitted with a printed circuit board (PCB), including smartphones, TVs, appliances, and more. You know the composite. The boards are laminated ...

As the name suggests, a flexible printed circuit is a pattern of conductors printed onto a flexible insulating film. Rigid-flex is the name given to a printed circuit that is a combination of both ...

The Flex Circuit Design Kit offers tools and information to assist designers from inception to physical mockup in integrating different types of flex circuits into their projects. The Flex Circuit ...

Flexible circuits have been around longer than you might expect, although they only recently rounded the bend and bounced into the hobbyist’s toolbox. When Boldport fanatic [Laura Lindzey] found out ...

Warfighters one day may have electronics literally painted onto their uniforms thanks to a new technology for printing circuitry. The process involves spraying a film composed of carbon nanotubes onto ...

With the introduction of Pyralux High Temperature (HT) flexible circuit material systems, flexible circuits will make their debut in high-temperature applications. It could lead to major changes for ...

Conductive ink is a great tool for printing flexible electronic circuits on surfaces. But these inks can be costly, they do not work on some materials, and devices to apply them can plug up. Now, ...

A group of researchers from Stanford have spent the last two decades working to develop skin-like integrated circuits that can be stretched, folded, bent, twisted without damaging their operating ...

In recent years, there has been an increased interest in bendable electronics. And to be fair, the idea of having a mini-computer that you can mold into your hands like play-dough does sound quite ...

Two researchers of Responsive Environments, MIT Media Lab, have put to together a device that is an amazing array of musical instruments squeezed into one flexible package. Made using seven layers of ...
