Most every device and electronic piece of equipment is outfitted with a printed circuit board (PCB), including smartphones, TVs, appliances, and more. You know the composite. The boards are laminated ...

It is not a secret that flexible PC boards can bend. But despite the substrate’s flexibility, you can’t really fold them completely over. That bothered [Carl] so he developed a hinge design so that he ...

There are many powerful and easy-to-use electronic design automation (EDA) software packages available for PCB designers today. Here's a closer look at some. There are many powerful and easy-to-use ...

Designing electronic systems has become measurably more complex during the past decade. Many of the products that are developed today are in-fact complex interconnected systems. Using the automotive ...

Designing electronic systems that comprise multiple interacting boards, connectors and cables requires a multi-discipline team collaboration to effectively manage design complexity for optimum product ...

Pulsonix, the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) company, has announced the launch of Pulsonix 14.0, the latest update to its PCB design software platform. The 3D clipping plane feature lets users ...

PCB rework for the purpose of fixing unfortunate design problems tends to involve certain things: thin wires (probably blue) to taped or glued down components, and maybe some areas of scraped-off ...

Flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs) aren’t much different than rigid boards during the design phase, except that the designer must account for the mechanical complexity associated with flex ...

Yamaichi is aiming at many-cell battery monitoring with a board-to-cable connector for FFCs (flexible flat cables) or FPCs (flexible printed circuit boards). It is a two part connector: one part for ...
