Working with trace widths below 50μm feels like walking a tightrope - the margin for error virtually disappears. I've seen designs that looked perfect in simulation get completely derailed by etching ……
We've all seen it: a flexible PCB works perfectly on the test bench, but after a few bends, the resistance becomes unstable. The culprit is often not the design itself, but an overlooked detail—platin……
Here's something we've learned from tearing down hundreds of thermally-cycled rigid-flex boards: that critical interface between rigid and flex sections behaves very differently under thermal stress t……
Let me clear up a common point of confusion I see in rigid-flex design. When we talk about reinforcing the flexible areas in rigid-flex boards, we're typically referring to adding localized stiffeners……
When it comes to flexible PCB surface finishes, I've seen too many projects derailed by poor choices. The decision between ENIG (Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold) and OSP (Organic Solderability Prese……
Here's a problem that keeps PCB manufacturers up at night: you're drilling metallized holes in rigid-flex boards, and suddenly the flexible areas start deforming. The holes end up misaligned, the wall……
Let's talk about something that seems simple but can make or break your flex PCB design: trace width selection. I've seen too many projects stumble because engineers treated 0.1mm and 0.2mm traces as ……
Here's something I've learned the hard way after twenty years in PCB fabrication: the order you laminate your rigid and flex sections isn't just a theoretical preference—it directly determines whether……
If you work with electronics long enough, you'll eventually face the dusty reality of maintenance. Flexible PCBs in devices like smartwatches, laptop hinges, and industrial equipment seem to attract d……
If you've ever designed electronics for products that get knocked around - from power tools to automotive sensors - you've probably wondered about rigid-flex PCB durability. Having tested these boards……
If you're designing with flexible PCBs, one of the first questions that comes up is: how many circuits can I actually run through this thing? The answer might surprise you - I've seen everything from ……
When we talk about rigid-flex PCBs, the first question that usually comes up is: how do you actually get the rigid and flexible parts to stay connected? I've worked with manufacturers across three con……
