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 ...

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 advent of microcontroller modules like the Arduino opened up ability to build and program interactive objects to a whole generation of makers. Today these modules make it simple to control ...

Flexible printed circuits (FPCs) are making a profound impact on electronic design, ushering in smaller, lighter, and increasingly functional devices that would otherwise be difficult, if not ...

Flexible electronics of one kind or another have been around for more than 20 years. What most now call flexible printed circuits (FPCs) are branching out to rigid-flex designs as well as highly ...
