Specialty Processing in Multi-Layer PCB Manufacturing

Written by Angie Brown
Posted on April 24, 2025 at 9:22 AM

Although it may not feel like it, the PCB manufacturing industry is approaching its 100th anniversary – a remarkable milestone. It’s hard for me to believe, especially having spent 40 years in the business myself. The idea of reaching a century of innovation in this field once seemed impossible. It almost feels like we should begin the story with, “A long time ago, in the 1930s,” when PCBs first came to light during WWII. Yet here we are, on the brink of celebrating this incredible achievement.

Using Adhesives and Bonding in Flex or Rigid-Flex PCB Construction

Written by Zachary Walker
Posted on April 16, 2025 at 9:03 AM

In a flex or rigid-flex PCB construction, many elements have to be considered that can be seen as important to the overall design such as copper weight, layer count, and many other things. However, among all the portions of a design, the one that usually gets forgotten is what bonds and holds it all together, the adhesives and pre-pregs that serve to bond the stack-up.

Custom Battery Packs: A Guide to Connectors and Interfaces

Written by Anton Beck
Posted on April 8, 2025 at 9:14 AM

Battery packs are designed to have fixed capacities and voltages to power specific applications for a required length of time before recharging. To transfer this power to the device, connectors, and interfaces are required to form the connection between the battery cells and the devices, as well as with the chargers.

What Are the Best Adhesives for Flexible Heaters?

Written by Miguel Sahagun
Posted on April 2, 2025 at 8:42 AM

Flexible Heaters are great examples of how far we’ve come in terms of discrete and efficient ways of heating. Silicone, polyimide, and polyester heaters alike share a common method of heat transfer: conduction. That is the key term for these heaters as they transfer heat by touching the surface of what you want to heat up.
