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...

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...

Global digitalization has minimized the use of hardware. Everything from business management to engineering has switched to digital interactivity channels. With more focus on software development, ...

In recent years, the electronic industry has changed due to technological advancements. The revolutionary technology has inspired the use of high-density interconnection (HDI) boards. HDI PCB allow...

Dynamic flex PCBs are the go-to solution for solving a wide range of interconnecting challenges in applications that often require extensive motion. These circuits are often used for high-density i...

Flex circuits — and to a lesser extent, flex PCBs — are often used to protect electronics and other components underneath. But they do far more than just this. There are many different types of fle...
