Jerome's Column: Global PCB Connections - A Technical Overview of Long-flex Printed Circuit Boards
14 NOV, 2024

Long-flex PCBs are revolutionizing industries with their ability to combine flexibility, durability, and lightweight design. Perfect for space-constrained applications, they shine in aerospace, automotive, medical devices, and wearable technology, enabling complex routing through tight spaces.

Key benefits include:

  • Flexibility
  • Durability
  • Reduced Complexity
  • Thermal Performance


Design Tips:
1/ Maintain adequate bend radius to avoid material stress.
2/ Position components in non-bendable sections with support from stiffeners.
3/ Optimize trace routing to prevent signal degradation and ensure flexibility.

Long-flex PCBs are paving the way for compact, high-performance innovations across industries. Let’s embrace this exciting technology for our next big designs!
