4mm diameter elastomer fibres are a promising substrate for electronics in clothing, according to Nottingham Trent University, which is investigating washable stretchable medical wearables. To make the electronic fibre, a long thin flexible PCB is helically wound along, and bonded to, the elastomer core, with its components facing inwards. “The basic idea has been around for centuries – it’s the ...

A two-day event for additive, sustainable, flexible, hybrid, wearable, structural and 3D electronics. A curated agenda and masterclass programme with 78 booths for innovators and material suppliers to equipment makers, manufacturers and end users.
Key areas where flexible electronics are having a commercial impact are examined by Liam Critchley, who finds smaller companies are carving their own industry niches. The growth of advanced fabrication methods, small-scale nanomaterials and the ability to embed flexible circuitry and components into polymeric hosts have given rise to flexible electronics with advanced functionalities. This has become a popular way ...
Hirose has designed a miniature hybrid flexible printed circuit (FPC) to board connector family called BK22 that can handle signals and power totalling 100W – for USB fast-charging, for example. By “using an FPC to connect the USB to the PCB, the USB can be placed anywhere within the design of the end-product”, according to the company. “BK22 suppresses heat ...
An intelligent patch for cardiac monitoring is amongst research projects built on flexible and stretchable PCBs from Würth Elektronik. There are two cardiac monitors, a mini version with three electrodes for short-term monitoring, and one with six electrodes for longer periods. “A completely new approach to integration was developed in this work,” according to Wurth. “It was based on a stretchable ...
Toyochem has created a series of flexible conductive and insulating sheet films for the protection of electrical and electronic equipment, including EMC protection. Branded Liotelant “the sheet films exhibit high water-resistance and are highly flexible, with an elongation of 500%”, according to the company. The “films can be hot-press moulded on to the electromagnetic interference source on the PCB, thus ...
GTK is supplying through-hole and sirface-mount flexible jumper strips in a variety of pitches and lengths, with a choice of insulation type. “Flexible jumper strips offer OEMs a versatile method of connecting two PCBs and can tolerate repeated flexing,” said GTK connector specialist Maciej Gluzniewicz. “This is ideal for connecting PCBs in high vibration applications, or where adjoining PCBs are ...
Amphenol RF is aiming at test, measurement and industrial applications with a line of BNC cable assemblies using low-loss Times LMR‐UF cable. LMR cable is designed with improved shielding compared to standard RF coaxial cables and is intended to achieve low attenuation at high frequencies – bandwidth is up to 3GHz. The 50Ω ohm assemblies are available in standard lengths from ...
