What are the Key Features of Rigid Flex PCB? 1. Combination of Rigid and Flexible Substrates The most distinguishing feature of a rigid-flex PCB is its ability to incorporate both rigid and flexible substrates within a single board. The rigid portions of the board provide structural support and house components […]
1. Resistors Resistors are passive components that oppose the flow of electric current in a circuit. They are used to control voltage levels, divide voltages, and limit current flow. Resistors come in various types, such as carbon film, metal film, and wire-wound resistors. The resistance value is measured in ohms […]
