Integrated Solutions for Board-level Reliability: A Smarter Path Forward
08/27/2025 | Alan Gardner, MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsIn today’s electronics manufacturing landscape, reliability is no longer just a benchmark but a business imperative. As industries such as automotive, aerospace, and high-performance computing (HPC) push the boundaries of innovation, the demand for dependable board-level performance under extreme conditions has never been greater.
Fresh PCB Concepts: Designing for Success at the Rigid-flex Transition Area
08/28/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsRigid-flex PCBs come in all shapes and sizes. Manufacturers typically use fire-retardant, grade 4 (FR-4) materials in the rigid section and flexible polyimide materials in the flex region. Because of the small size, some rigid-flex PCBs, like those for hearing aid devices, are among the most challenging to manufacture. However, regardless of its size, we should not neglect the transition area between the rigid and flexible material.
