Flex boards cover their conductors with polyimide, a dielectric layer that protects the circuit better than the simple solder mask.

Printed circuit boards are used in all disciplines, including motion-control applications. New CAD software helps designers create better schematics and layouts.

Stanford scientists have developed a new circuit board modeled on the human brain, possibly opening up new frontiers in robotics and computing.

There are a number of complex tasks involved in the manufacturing of electronic assemblies, all of which can go wrong. In order to ensure quality standards are met, the fabrication of the printed ...

Electrical engineers have been designing custom circuit boards on computers for years, but this approach simply moved the paper and pencil method to digital. It didn’t advance the craft or make ...

New recyclable electronics could be critical to curbing e-waste, scientists argue, especially because these circuit boards can be repaired or reconfigured by simply applying heat.

Water-soluble circuit boards could cut carbon footprints by 60 percent Infineon Technologies is trialing the PCB in demo units ahead of a potential wider rollout.
