As I write this column, the duty rate for 2- and 4-layer rigid printed circuit boards manufactured in China stands at 145%, while 6-layer and above – along with all other technologies, whether rigid, ...

A pattern of conductors created on a bendable film, which acts as an insulating (dielectric) base material. The top is coated with a dielectric cover layer. A flexible circuit is a pliable ...

We’ve reduced printed circuit board design to practice so much that ... and NASA uses flexible and semi-rigid PCBs built from the stuff regularly. When a design calls for a rigid PCB, polyimide ...

We will also examine Fab Documentation for Flex Circuits and Rigid-Flex Boards and the do’s and don’ts of flex circuit design. From there we can find a clear path to discover the best practices for ...

Printed circuit boards can be square, round, octagonal, or whatever shape you desire. But there’s little choice when it comes to the third dimension: most PCBs are flat and rigid. Sure ...

As trade tensions between the U.S. and China show signs of easing, Asian markets are experiencing a cautiously optimistic environment, with expectations for further stimulus measures in key economies ...
