What to Expect from the Rigid Flex PCB Prototyping Process

Written on March 17, 2022. Posted in Blog, Manufacture, New Product Information.

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 a rigid flex PCB created for a specific application, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the customization options that are available. Rigid flex PCBs can be designed...

What are the Advantages of Surface Mount Technology in PCBA?

Written on February 15, 2022. Posted in Articles of Interest, Blog, Manufacture.

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 compare to through-hole components and the reasons to use surface mount technology during PCB manufacturing. What...
