Why Flex PCBs are Best for Medical Devices and Applications
The medical industry works hard every day to save the lives of children and adults. Thanks to dedicated working professionals, innovative medical devices and advanced technology, people worldwide are living longer. And one of the ways that technology is keeping up is through rigid-flex and flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs). PCBs are the platform for […]
What to Expect from the Rigid Flex PCB Prototyping Process
Rigid flex printed circuit boards (PCBs) combine the flexibility of flex circuits with the traditional board functionality of rigid circuits. The end result is a PCB that’s remains flat and stiff where structure is needed, and flexible at others, allowing the board to be folded or flexed to fit into the device. If you’re having […]
Silicon Valley Concepts Start with a Prototype
No place on earth inspires product designers more than Silicon Valley. The city is home to globally recognized companies like Apple, Microsoft, HP, and Adobe. Over recent years, the entire Bay Area became a hub for technological innovation. Although many product teams call Silicon Valley home, investors dished out more than $11 billion of venture […]
What are the Advantages of Surface Mount Technology in PCBA?
Surface mount technology (SMT) is an alternative to older through-hole (TH) printed circuit board (PCB) design and manufacturing. Even when there are reasons to use through-hole components on your PCB, surface mounted components almost always win. In fact, almost all equipment manufactured commercially uses surface mounted technology. Let’s learn more about how surface mount components […]
