PCBs For The Medical Industry
Electronic Components Marketing Group
When it comes to the construction of medical devices, it is imperative that they are reliable and accurate. Many medical devices require small, higher density circuit boards to pack a larger number of connections into a tiny area. These demands are the reason many leaders in the medical industry come to ECMG for their circuit boards needs.
At ECMG, we help you find the perfect solution for your device and budget. We ensure that all of the circuit boards you use meet the requirements and regulations that have been set for your specific device. Want to learn more about finding the correct PCB solution? Download our free ebook.

Finding the Solution for You
Rigid PCBs are made of solid substrate with copper tracks and component layouts. They also have a solder mask layer that adds insulation to the copper and a silkscreen layer which is used to add instructions of guidance to the board. A rigid PCB typically has a lower per- piece manufacturing cost, which can in turn save you some extra money.
Flexible Circuits are intended to provide a flexible interconnect so that it can move, curve or bend in installation. These circuits are great when space is limited or movement of the circuit is required. Other benefits of using flexible PCBs include enhanced capabilities and reliability.
A rigid flex PCB typically has both the benefits of a rigid and a flex pcb by combining the two. This combination is ideally suited to designs where space inside the package is at a premium. It can also reduce certain connection problems like cold joints, making them extremely reliable.
