Webinar Review: The Challenges of UL Certification for Flex and Flex-Rigid PCBs

03/25/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007 Magazine
UL certification is one of an engineer’s least favorite topics, yet it is critically important. The process is complicated but relatively straightforward for standard rigid PCBs, but as Jan Pedersen makes clear in NCAB Group’s recent webinar, “UL Approval for Flex and Flex-Rigid PCBs,” it is a very different story.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week

11/21/2025 | Michelle Te, I-Connect007
Were you one of the lucky ones who made it to Europe’s largest electronics trade show this week? By all accounts, this massive event was buzzing with new technologies, packed booths, and plenty of tired feet by the end of each day. So, if you’re heading home from productronica (or, like me, just enjoying the end of a busy week), now’s the perfect time to unwind a bit. Settle into that airplane seat (or office chair), grab a snack, and catch up on some great reads from I-Connect007.

Beyond the Board: Why More Defense Primes Are Moving Toward Rigid-flex for Lighter, More Reliable Systems

11/18/2025 | Jesse Vaughan -- Column: Beyond the Board
Over the past decade, the conversation around PCB innovation in aerospace and defense has often centered on high-density interconnects, advanced materials, and tighter design-to-fabrication collaboration. But the move toward rigid-flex is a quieter shift that has been gaining momentum, and it’s changing how primes and system integrators approach the physical architecture of mission-critical electronics.

Driving Innovation: Mechanical and Optical Processes During Rigid-flex Production

10/28/2025 | Kurt Palmer -- Column: Driving Innovation
Rigid-flex printed circuit boards are a highly effective solution for placing complex circuitry in tight, three-dimensional spaces. They are now indispensable across a range of industries, from medical devices and aerospace to advanced consumer electronics, helping designers make the most efficient use of available space. However, their unique construction—combining rigid and flexible materials—presents a fundamental challenge for PCB manufacturers.
