In today’s electronics industry, compact, efficient, and versatile PCBs are in high demand. Rigid-flex technology allows engineers to design boards that bend and flex without compromising performance ...

From traditional fuses to eFuses, understanding the advantages, limitations, and use cases of each technology helps engineers ...

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).

The now-humble PCB was revolutionary when it came along, and the whole ecosystem that evolved around it has been a game changer in electronic design. But the PCB is just so… flat. Planar.

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 ...

We’ve noticed that [Carl Bugeja] likes flexible PCBs. His latest exploit is to make PCB-based springs that combine with some magnets to create little devices that jump. We aren’t sure what practical ...

OKI Circuit Technology (OTC) has launched rigid-flex printed circuit boards (PCBs) with embedded copper “coins” that offer improved heat dissipation for rockets and satellite-mounted equipment ...

Designers are familiar with rigid print circuit boards (PCBs) typified by the classic FR4 substrate as well as more advanced substrates which are compatible with multi-gigahertz applications. It’s ...

What’s the right PCB to implement for your device? One must weigh various factors, including layer structure, materials used such as copper-clad laminate, and, of course, circuit layout. What are ...

An overload or short circuit in a fuse or mini circuit breaker can lead to undersupply or failure of an entire 24-V dc power-supply system. Selectivity protection using an electronic fuse offers a ...
