Think about it, the trends today in consumer electronics is not “bigger is better.” Yes, Americans have gone to great lengths to buy bigger houses, bigger cars, bigger dogs, and if you’re a passionate golfer like myself – a bigger…
Inside a tightly-packaged modern smartphone, flexible circuitry dominates the space, connecting various modules to the main logic board using microminiature board-to-board and FPC connectors. The space-saving and lightweight nature of these components for relatively high circuit size interconnects has certainly contributed toward the never-ending drive for miniaturization. Yet you still occasionally see some conventional discrete wires. Modules such as batteries, speakers and vibra motors are still sometimes connected to the main logic board by discrete wires. These modules may be attached to the chassis of the device, and the flexibility and cost-effective nature of discrete wires provides phone designers the…
