Etters, Pa. — FCI now offers its single-row Clincher 2.54-mm pitch connectors with options for keying and active latching. Expanding the applications the Clincher connectors can be used in, the ...

A line of high-density nano connectors terminate to double-sided flex circuits with up to 44 positions and in thicknesses up to 0.10-in. The connectors suit applications such as optical, wireless, and ...

True 3-D interconnects and packaging. Rigid PCBs are inherently 2-D. Rigid-flex, however, allows you to fold, bend and twist ...

The VLK Series, a complete range of front-side flip-actuator FPC ZIF (zero-insertion-force) connectors, provides a robust design that can withstand high-cable retention forces, making them ideal for ...

Connecting multiple printed circuit boards (PCBs)? When is rigid the right choice? And when should you opt for flexible? Hitaltech, the connecting technology specialists, share some general advice.

Space savings, greater reliability, low mass, and high ductility are some of the advantages offered by flexible PCBs, but designers must also prepare for their complexity. Flexible printed circuit ...

Building electronics in unconventional form factors with high packaging density is possible thanks to three-dimensional circuit designs using flex and rigid-flex printed circuit boards (PCBs).

GTK is supplying through-hole and sirface-mount flexible jumper strips in a variety of pitches and lengths, with a choice of insulation type. “Flexible jumper strips offer OEMs a versatile method of ...

Smaller electronic footprints are the rule today. Cellular phones and personal entertainment players are perhaps the most visible examples, but the same trend can be seen in medical and aerospace ...

A while ago, [drygol] was asked to repair a few old Amiga keyboards. The key switches worked fine, but in the past decade or two, the flexible PCB ribbon connector has been mistreated, and was in an ...

You can find flex PCBs in just about every single piece of consumer electronics. These traces of copper laminated in sheets of Kapton are everywhere, and designing these cables, let alone ...
