Exploring the Future of Electronics: Flexible and Kirigami Circuits

Flexible-Kirigami-circuits-PCB-design

As modern electronics continue to evolve, the demand for lighter, thinner, and more adaptable circuitry has never been greater. Two emerging technologies—flexible circuits and kirigami circuits—are reshaping what’s possible in product design and advanced manufacturing. Flexible circuits use bendable substrates like polyimide to create lightweight, compact, and durable electronic assemblies. Their ability to fold and conform to tight […]

Intrinsically Safe PCB I/O Design: Building Electronics for Hazardous Environments

PCB and I/O design for hazardous areas

Designing electronics for hazardous environments goes far beyond standard PCB engineering. In industries such as oil and gas, mining, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and grain handling, equipment must be engineered to eliminate the risk of ignition. This is where intrinsically safe (IS) PCB I/O design becomes critical. Intrinsically safe design ensures that electronic circuits are built in a […]
