5 Rigid-Flex PCB Design Elements That Increase Lead Times
by agoldin, December 13, 2021
Rigid-flex printed circuit boards (PCBs) consist of a combination of hardboard and flexible circuits, and they are produced using a manufacturing process that’s similar to that used to produce conventional hardboard circuits. The lead time, or time it takes to manufacture these PCBs, is extremely long on its own. However, certain additional design elements may […]

by agoldin, November 29, 2021
Rigid flex printed circuit boards (PCBs) provide compact electronics packaging, enabling increasingly necessary miniaturization for the medical device industry. PCBs are an integral component of modern electronic devices. They consist of electrically conductive materials that support the connectivity between electronic components. Rigid flex PCBs, in particular, offer added benefits that make them ideal for many […]
Read MoreWhat Is IPC-6013 and Why Is It Important for Rigid-Flex PCBs?
by Anna, June 28, 2021
To ensure the integrity of rigid-flex PCBs, it is necessary to inspect and test them following a standardized set of procedures. IPC-6013 is a key performance specification for both flexible and rigid-flexible circuits. This blog will discuss what IPC-6013 and IPC inspection standards are, and why they are important for these PCB types. What is […]
