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 ...

In contrast, rigid-flex circuits eliminate these joints, making them much more reliable and able to deliver overall higher product quality and longevity. So while rigid-flex PCB technology is ...

Orbotech, a KLA company, has announced two new roll-to-roll (R2R) manufacturing solutions for flexible printed circuit (FPCs), enabling the design and mass production of new generations of ...

Having these flat flex cables and PCBs manufactured still requires some Google-fu or a contact at a fab house, but at least now designing these cables is a solved problem.

Basically, the stuff they use for ribbon cables and flex PCBs, just made slightly differently to be see-through instead of vaguely brown.

The two new series of solutions are the drum-based Orbotech Infinitum™ for R2R direct imaging, and the Orbotech Apeiron™ for flex R2R and sheet-by-sheet panel UV laser drilling. "Based on the ...

Applying this technology to rigid-flex PCBs has made it possible to create rigid-flex PCBs with embedded copper coins that demonstrate high heat dissipation performance in vacuum environments.

The YFLEX flexible printed circuit board from Yamaichi Electronics is now also available as a high-heat resistant version for extreme environments. This FPC was developed to meet the requirements in ...

In PCB market, various technologies, such as rigid 1-2 sided, standard multilayer, flexible circuits, rigid-flex, HDI/Microvia/build-up, and IC substrate are used in various applications.

Rigid-flex PCB manufacturers have seen orders for Apple's AirPods 2 slow down since 2020, but believe orders will return to year-ago levels in the second half of the year, according to supply ...
