Flex circuits are known by many names including flex boards, flex PCBs, flexible circuit boards, flexible printed circuit boards and, more officially, flexible electronics. You may think of flex ...

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.

ETCO Incorporated has introduced a line of connectors for attaching wires to laminates and other flexible circuits that must ...

For reliability, designers must create flex circuits that are neither too thick nor bend too much. • Every flex circuit has a neutral-bend axis. • Smaller circuit thickness reduces the risk of damage ...

A pattern of conductors created on a bendable film, which acts as an insulating (dielectric) base material. The top is coated with a dielectric cover layer. A flexible circuit is a pliable counterpart ...

For the mobile market, some PCB assemblies have been converted to flex circuit assemblies, in part because flex circuit assemblies can be twisted or bent to meet the needs of the application.

• 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 ...

Current robots are severely limited in their intelligence by the constraints inherent in rigid electronic hardware frameworks ...

Researchers working with the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research have developed a method to spray down a film of carbon nanotubes to form thin, flexible electronics. These pliable circuits ...

Shares of Anaheim’s Multi-Fineline Electronix Inc., a maker of flexible circuit boards for cell phones, continued their downward slide a day after the company gave a weaker-than-expected sales outlook ...

Though threading is a old concept in computer science, and fabric computing has been a term for about thirty years, the terminology has so far been more metaphorical than strictly descriptive. [Cedric ...
