Flexible PCBs Making and Wearable Technology
The need to bring electronics closer to our bodies has been growing, primarily for health monitoring purposes. Continuous health monitoring allows individuals to track their health without waiting for routine doctor checkups or feeling unwell. Flexible PCBs (FPCBs) have become essential in advancing wearable technology, helping to bring these devices to life.
As a result, the use of traditional rigid printed circuit boards in wearable tech is gradually decreasing. Copper tracks are now being built thinner, making wearables more comfortable to wear and efficient in operation, particularly when sensor data is transmitted wirelessly.
This shift highlights the importance of flexible PCB technology, which supports the miniaturization and flexibility necessary for seamless integration into wearable health devices.
High-Density Interconnects PCBs (HDI PCBs)
There is an obvious need for miniaturization. Whether you want to make a board for a wearable application, a new computer board, or just an Internet of Things (IoT) device, electronics components must be tiny to occupy so, the smallest space with superior performance in printed HDI technology, PCB components can be packed very close to each other and function even better. With microvias, which are about 140um, components can be densely packed to as close as 100um. However, this is achieved without compromising the quality of the electrical signals involved.
