Micro-robot Exoskeletons With Rigid-flex PCBs

09/03/2026 | Anaya Vardya, American Standard Circuits
Building a robot the size of a cockroach requires rethinking every assumption of conventional mechanical and electrical engineering. At the centimeter scale, wire harnesses become unmanageable tangles, rigid chassis structures become disproportionately heavy, and conventional connectors dwarf the components they're meant to join. Rigid-flex PCBs offer a radical solution: Make the circuit board the skeleton.

Smart Textile Integration with Flex PCBs

08/10/2026 | Anaya Vardya, American Standard Circuits
The idea of clothing that monitors your health sounds like science fiction. It is not. Flex PCBs, integrated with conductive yarns and polymer substrates, are turning ordinary fabric into diagnostic platforms and turning your shirt into a medical device. The implications for healthcare, athletics, and workplace safety are profound. The fundamental engineering challenge of wearable electronics has always been the interface between two incompatible worlds: the rigid, planar world of conventional electronics and the soft, stretchy, washable world of textiles. Early smart garments solved this by simply attaching a rigid sensor pod to clothing, which was functional but bulky and uncomfortable. Flex PCBs collapse that boundary.

Target Condition: Flex and Rigid-flex Solutions in A&D Display Electronics

07/21/2026 | Kelly Dack -- Column: Target Condition
Displays and illuminated human-machine interfaces have become essential components of modern electronic systems. From aircraft cockpits and mission-control displays to medical equipment, industrial controls, and consumer devices, we depend on these visual interfaces to interact with technology. I recently spoke with Pioneer Circuits' Applications Engineer Dan Hansler, and Sales and Marketing Director Ruben Lugo about how decades of aerospace and defense (A&D) experience are influencing today's lighting and display designs.

Rewiring Medical Brain-Machine Communication With Flex PCBs

07/09/2026 | Anaya Vardya, American Standard Circuits
Flex and rigid-flex PCBs are shaping the future through a range of innovative applications, including neural interface arrays that redefine brain-machine communication in the medical field. For decades, scientists and engineers have dreamed of tapping into this electrochemical symphony, and flex PCBs are finally making that dream clinically viable.
