[Menadue] had a vintage Compucorp 326 calculator with an aging problem. Specifically, the flex cable that connects the button pad had turned corroded over time. However, thanks to the modern PCB ...

In today’s electronics industry, compact, efficient, and versatile PCBs are in high demand. Rigid-flex technology allows engineers to design boards that bend and flex without compromising performance ...

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 ...

PCB rework for the purpose of fixing unfortunate design problems tends to involve certain things: thin wires (probably blue) to taped or glued down components, and maybe some areas of scraped-off ...

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 ...

Flex PCBs have been a key enabler of modern high density electronics, but achieving this density requires thinner layers and finer lines. Conventional three-layer flex circuits comprised of copper, ...

- Addresses heat dissipation issues for heat-generating components in vacuum environments - Rigid-flex PCBs have a structure that combines a thin, light, soft, and durable flexible circuit board (FPC, ...

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 ...

Flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs) aren’t much different than rigid boards during the design phase, except that the designer must account for the mechanical complexity associated with flex ...
