One of the materials used in making flexible PCBs, polyimide, has fallen in short supply due to expanding flexible PCB applications, according to sources at Taiwan flexible PCB material makers. The ...

PCBs are solid and somewhat rigid but some parts or in some instances the PCB itself is flexible. The Flexible PCB is composed of a conductor, insulator and a covering or lamination. Lamination is ...

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).

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, ...

Flex printed circuit boards are the method of choice for making engineering work easier when complex geometries are involved. Savings on space, weight and cost together with increased reliability of ...

The global polyimide foam market is experiencing growth due to several factors such as increase in demand for lightweight material in automotive and aerospace industries is expected to drive the ...

This article is part of the TechXchange: PCB Tools and Technology. Many manufacturers still use the standard FR-4 material for their rigid boards because FR-4 materials are cost-efficient and highly ...

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 ...

Fraunhofer IZM has re-spun the idea of mechanically-steered radar, and developed a PCB-based IoT radar that can be bent into shape to customise its beam. Called Flex-Radar, its antennas are built into ...
