Flex PCBs have been a key enabler of modern high density electronics, but achieving this density requires thinner layers and finer lines. Conventional three-layer flex circuits comprised of copper, ...

If they had flexible integrated circuits readily at hand, electronics manufacturers could start producing new devices including smart medical implants and flexible displays. Now researchers have ...

Molex Inc. has completed its previously announced acquisition of AFlextech Inc., a Taiwan-based designer and manufacturer of flexible circuits and assemblies that provide power and signal interconnect ...

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 ...

Other suppliers of rigid flexible printed circuit boards (RFPCBs) are stepping in to produce the components for the iPhone 13 lineup, as Samsung begins exiting the business … Samsung has been a major ...

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 ...

As if Tesla hasn't already shaken up the automotive industry enough, the electric automaker's new strides in flex circuit tech could change how EVs are built and potentially impact suppliers.

• A flexible printed circuit is as much a mechanical device as it is an electrical device. • The neutral bend axis may not be in the exact middle of the material stack. • The reliability of flexible ...

Smaller electronic footprints are the rule today. Cellular phones and personal entertainment players are perhaps the most visible examples, but the same trend can be seen in medical and aerospace ...
