True 3-D interconnects and packaging. Rigid PCBs are inherently 2-D. Rigid-flex, however, allows you to fold, bend and twist ...

[TinkersProjects] experimented with making their own flexible PCB for LED modules inside a special fixture, and the end result was at least serviceable despite some problems. It does seem as though ...

There’s no better way to introduce yourself than handing over a blinky PCB business card and challenging the recipient to a game of Connect Four. And if [Dennis Kaandorp] turns up early for a meeting, ...

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 ...

The advent of microcontroller modules like the Arduino opened up ability to build and program interactive objects to a whole generation of makers. Today these modules make it simple to control ...

- 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, ...

GUERNSEY, Channel Islands--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Polar Instruments – a leading manufacturer of high speed PCB design tools for fabricators and OEMs – announces an extension to the capability of Si8000m and ...

OKI Circuit Technology (OTC) has launched rigid-flex printed circuit boards (PCBs) with embedded copper “coins” that offer improved heat dissipation for rockets and satellite-mounted equipment ...

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 ...
