Flex circuits are known by many names including flex boards, flex PCBs, flexible circuit boards, flexible printed circuit boards and, more officially, flexible electronics. You may think of flex ...

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 ...

For reliability, designers must create flex circuits that are neither too thick nor bend too much. • Every flex circuit has a neutral-bend axis. • Smaller circuit thickness reduces the risk of damage ...

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 ...

Smaller electronic footprints are the rule today. Cellular phones and personal entertainment players are perhaps the most visible examples, but the same trend can be seen in medical and aerospace ...

Test is becoming increasingly complicated as new technologies such as flexible electronics begin playing mission-critical roles in applications where electronics have little or no history. Although ...
