The fundamental purpose of either flexible solder stop mask or polyimide coverlay is no different than rigid solder mask. It is needed to encapsulate and protect the external circuit layers. But, when moving to a flexible circuit design the bending, folding and flexing requirements of the circuit in assembly and end use most often dictate which materials are recommended to Read Article Board-and-Enclosure Collaboration in the Cloud Every day, technology has new ways to make our lives easier. It doesn’t seem like there’s anything smart devices can’t do, or won’t be able to do in the near future. However, as smart and connected devices become more helpful to the everyday user, they become increasingly complicated to make. Boards, wires, and all kinds of components are jam-packed into ambiguous spaces. Look under the hood of a new car, and you’ll find a whole lot more than was Read Article Dedicated to Electronics? Join the SMTA If you work in the electronics industry, there’s a good chance that you’ve heard about the SMTA. Although SMTA stands for “Surface Mount Technology Association,” they prefer to go just by their abbreviation of SMTA as their scope and focus reaches far beyond SMT and manufacturing. “As the electronics industry evolves, we find ourselves addressing topics on emerging technologies and technological advancements. As technologies and manufacturing Read Article Should I Make, Find, or Download My PCB Symbols and Footprints?

Read Article Printed Electronics a Technology of the Past and Future Printed electronics (PE) is a new, rapidly growing interconnect business. It has its origin in printed-flexible keyboards for appliances and for the expanding technologies in fancy magazines and literature. The irony of PE is that the technology was probably the first employed during WWII and all printed circuits owes it origin to PE. APPLICATIONS The most exciting thing about PE is all the new applications and markets that it will open.

For people new to calling out flex materials, it can be a little intimidating. Just like their rigid material counterparts, there are so many options to choose from, it can be mind-boggling. But, also just like their rigid material counterparts, once you learn the “basics”, most designs will fit within common parameters. Once those Read Article 1:52 How To Make Title Blocks Quickly and Easily in Draftsman Knowing how to make title blocks is necessary for your documentation.
