Rigid-Flex Circuit Benefits

Rigid Flex circuits gives the ability to design your circuitry to fit the device, instead of building a device to fit the circuit board. Rigid-Flex Printed Circuits Benefits Rigid Flex circuits are designed for the rigors of aerospace, medical and military applications, with dependable reliability....

Rigid-Flex Circuit Example

2 layers flexible PCB; overall height of flexible part: 300µm minimum bending radius r = 10 x 300µm = 3000µm = 3mm Flexible PCB for dynamic installation; overall height of flexible part: 400µm minimum bending radius r = 25 x 400µm = 10000µm = 10mm F-g2.3.4 Dynamic bending: spontaneous and...

Multiple-layer Circuit Board

The ink toner in laser printers and photocopiers is a plastic based powder that once heated melts then solidifies and bonds to the paper you are printing on. If you use a photo paper normally used for inkjet printing, the plastic toner will bond with the coating on the paper and form a layer of plast...

Double-sided Circuit Board

Intro For a certain number of projects, including first-prototype, surface mount 'breadboarding', layout experimentation, rapid multiple-revisions, and 1-hour deadlines doing your own PCB etching can be quick, clean, and very very inexpensive. The method set up in the Media Lab basement is somewhat-...

Single-sided Circuit Board

In electronics, it is common to talk about single sided circuit boards. The most common type is a circuit board that only has printed wiring on one side, and components on the other side. There are also surface-mount boards, where all the wiring and components sit on one side. But aren’t all of tho...

PCB DIY Foreword

Nowadays, PCBs are widely used, more and more electronics lovers have been devoted themselves in to PCB designing. And many people like to make simple PCBs by themselves at home. Thus, here we offer PCB designers some tips, including single-sided PCB and multilayer PCB manufacturing skills. well, l...

Multiple-layer Printed Circuit Board

Multi-layer boards have many benefits over conventional double-sided, single-layer PCBs. They allow for considerable savings on space, allow for the easy, simultaneous shielding of large numbers of components, and cut down on the number of interconnection wiring harnesses that would be needed if sepa...

Single Layer Printed Circuit Board

Single-sided printed circuit board single Single-sided PCB means that wiring is available only on one side of the insulating substrate. The side which contains the circuit pattern is called the solder side whereas the other side is called the component side. These types of boards are mostly used i...
