The world of electronics is getting increasingly complicated with new features and functionalities being introduced nearly every day. At the same time, electronic devices are getting smaller as man...

What is Rigid-Flex PCB ? As the name suggests, a flexible printed circuit is a pattern of conductors printed onto a flexible insulating film. Rigid-flex PCB is the name given to a printed circuit ...

HDI stands for High-Density Interconnect. As the name suggests, an HDI PCB is characterized by its high density of components and routing interconnections that use the latest PCB technologies. An H...

At some level of circuit complexity, turning to an HDI architecture with blind and buried vias will result in better yield and lower cost than would a through-hole design. In this article, we disc...

Rigid flex printed circuit boards (PCBs) are highly versatile circuit boards that incorporate aspects of both hardboard and flexible circuits. They are typically composed of multiple layers of rigi...

PCBs are evolving with the continually increasing demands of the electronics and telecom market. We are sitting on the eve of widespread deployment of 5G wireless technology across the globe. This ...

Circuit boards have allowed humanity to step into the modern era. One can argue that they are the cornerstone of humanity's most recent achievements. All scientific research, whether concerning the...

When creating an HDI PCB, there are some basic design guidelines that need to be followed. Validating your design for the HDI manufacturing process is important. It will help you avoid costly mista...

The PCB design process is constantly evolving, and new challenges come with the rise of new technologies. Rigid-flex PCBs are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to combine the benef...

How you place and route your high-density interconnect (HDI) circuit board traces can significantly affect each trace's saturation current, resistance, and capacitance. With HDI PCB manufacturing, ...

Most electronics devices don't contain a single PCB (printed circuit board). They are made up of many flex and rigid-flex PCBs. Due to this, PCB manufacturers might create unusual enclosures for th...

The biggest advantage of flex PCBs can also be its biggest shortfall - and this is why stiffeners are used. Without a stiffener, flex circuits will not be rigid without a stiffener in areas requiri...
