In the evolution of printed circuit boards (PCBs), the transition from single-sided to double-sided to multilayer PCBs has been pivotal. This shift addresses the growing demand for compact, efficient, and high-performance electronic devices. Here’s a detailed look at what multilayer PCBs are, how they work, and when to use them. What Is a Multilayer PCB? A multilayer PCB is an advanced circuit board featuring multiple layers of...

Flexible circuits (also variously referred to around the globe as flex circuits, flexible printed circuit boards, flex print, Flexi-circuits) are members of electronic and interconnection family. They consist of a thin insulating polymer film having conductive circuit patterns affixed thereto and typically supplied with a thin polymer coating to protect the conductor circuits. The technology has...

Flexible PCB technology, also known as FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit), continues to develop and is used in major electronics sectors such as consumer electronics, automotive, electronic medical devices, wearables, telecommunications and aerospace. The introduction of flexible PCBs has revolutionized conventional electrical interconnect technology, which was traditionally used to connect multiple parts of the same circuit or...

Flexible Printed Circuit Board (FPCB or Flexible PCB) is a PCB designed to be flexible and can be bent, folded, or twisted. FPC has a combination of multiple printed circuits as well as components located on a flexible substrate. It is usually made of polyimide film material, which ensures high flexibility and thermal stability. Thanks to...

Having your schematic design thoroughly tested and prototyped is an essential phase in any manufacturing process. PCB prototyping will allow you to spot design flaws and address them at this stage. Before you send your product off to the manufacturer, you’ll want to be sure that you’ve caught all of the bugs and design flaws....

Integrated Circuit (IC) substrates are essential components in modern electronics, acting as the primary interface between semiconductor chips and printed circuit boards (PCBs). Their rapid adoption is driven by advanced IC packaging types like Chip Scale Packaging (CSP) and Ball Grid Array (BGA), which demand innovative solutions to meet increasing performance and miniaturization requirements. What is an IC Substrate?...

FR4, often written as FR-4, is a widely recognized and high-performing substrate material used in PCB manufacturing. Its affordability, insulation properties, and structural integrity make it the foundation for most PCB designs. FR4 boards are coated with copper foil using adhesive to create conductive layers, either single or double-sided, depending on the design. This flexibility allows for the...

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) have evolved from simple single or double layer boards to complex multilayer boards with 6 or more layers to accommodate increasing component density and interconnectivity needs. 6 layer PCBs provide more flexibility for routing, plane separation and enable partitioning of circuits across layers. However, designing the 6 layer stackup requires careful planning to utilize...

4 layer flex PCB are used in a variety of industrial applications. Our flex PCBs are first choice for industries such as power, automobile, medical devices, GPS, and industrial control equipment, to name a few. Four Layer Flex PCB Stack up Flexible printed circuits (FPCs) provide invaluable dynamic flexing and shape conforming capabilities in electronics. 4 layer flex PCBs with conductors on 4 layers enable...

Guidelinesand Stack-up Guidelines Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are becoming increasingly complex to accommodate higher density components and more sophisticated functionality. A growing trend is the use of boards with a large number of layers – 8, 10, 12 or more. In particular, many advanced designs are moving to 10 layer PCBs. While providing more real estate...
