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……
If you're working on electronic devices that need to operate in environments with electromagnetic interference, you've probably wondered about the real differences between rigid-flex and pure flexible……
Let's face it - we've all experienced that moment of panic when a device slips from our hands. As an engineer who has tested and analyzed hundreds of electronic devices, I can provide some practical i……
If you're designing compact electronics, you've probably wondered just how far we can push flexible PCB miniaturization. As someone who's worked on everything from medical implants to wear……
I've been taking apart and testing rigid-flex PCBs since they started appearing in consumer devices. One question I hear constantly from product designers and concerned consumers alike: "Will……
If you're designing anything that bends - from smartwatch sensors to foldable phone hinges - you've probably wondered about flexible PCBs. More importantly, you've likely asked: "Will these floppy cir……
I've been in the PCB industry for over a decade, and one question I get constantly from American designers and startups is: "Are rigid-flex PCBs going to bankrupt me?" The short answer is no - but you……
Alright, pull up a chair. You want to know if water will kill your flex PCB? The short answer: hell yes, it will. But let me tell you why - and more importantly, why most of your gadgets survive anywa……
When building devices with moving parts (like foldable phones) or tight spaces (like wireless earbuds), wiring—those tiny wires that connect PCBs to components—can be a hassle. They take up space, bre……
Pop open a smartwatch or a pair of wireless earbuds, and you'll see them: those little gold-plated strips along the edge of a thin, flexible circuit board. In the trade, we call these "gold fingers." ……
