Reading time ( words)

I-Connect007 is excited to announce the release of a new book in our micro eBook series: The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to…Flex and Rigid-Flex Fundamentals. 

The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… is an ongoing series of micro eBooks specifically dedicated to the education of PCB designers. This book series will become the gold standard for people seeking the most relevant information available. 

The latest title in this new line of eBooks, The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… Flex and Rigid-Flex Fundamentals, is authored by Anaya Vardya and David Lackey of American Standard Circuits. This micro eBook provides both new and seasoned circuit designers with valuable, important information that will help to assure first-pass success in getting their products to market.   

“We have found that when we are working with companies who need flex and rigid-flex PCBs, the best course of action is to work closely in partnership with them to make sure we give them the very best value in flex and rigid-flex PCBs,” said Lackey. “We want to make sure our customers get exactly what they need for their end-products.” 

Added Vardya, “This guidebook is based on the many conversations we have had with our customer partners helping them to gain a better and more complete understand of this technology. We also consider this our gift; American Standard Circuits’ gift to the industry. This unique guidebook will be available to everyone through a free download on our eBook website.” 

This eBook has something for everyone: in addition to guidance on key callouts, design considerations and material sets for optimum manufacturability, there are plenty of do’s and don’ts for fabricators, cost drivers for OEMs and key information on data package requirements for contract manufacturers. 

The Printed Circuit Designer's Guide to… Flex and Rigid Flex-Fundamentals is a must-read for anyone in the supply chain using flex or rigid-flex technology.

It’s been a little while since I first had the opportunity to review an EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar. This excellent series began in October 2020 when our industry was besieged by the COVID-19 pandemic. It has continued successfully as restrictions have lifted and provides an effective channel for the efficient sharing of relevant knowledge that complements the traditional live conferences. The 20th in the series, in December 2022, focused on environmental issues impacting the electronics industry. In early February, EIPC held its live Winter Conference in Lyon and now, by popular demand, the 21st Technical Snapshot fills a slot before the Summer Conference scheduled for mid-June in Munich.

At a recent industry conference, technical editor Pete Starkey caught some time with Ventec’s Mark Goodwin and Didier Mauve. In this conversation, Mark and Didier discuss Ventec’s work to curate their product offerings into functional categories based on function and target application. The pair also share their thinking on markets which they see as driving material development work. When material performance becomes an integral part of the PCB’s performance specifications, the traditional way of categorizing materials may not do the job.

The EIPC Winter Conference returned to the Metropolis of Lyon in eastern France this month. In 2018, the venue was Villeurbanne in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Five years later the setting was the Groupama Stadium in Décines-Charpieu, and leaders of the European printed circuit community gathered in expectation of a spectacular programme of 16 presentations, a visit to a nuclear power station, and an invaluable networking opportunity. They weren’t disappointed.
