Applications of Flex PCBs
Flex PCBs find their application in a wide range of industries, from consumer electronics to aerospace and defense. Some
notable examples include:
Wearable Devices
The flexibility of flex PCBs allows them to be integrated into form-fitting, ergonomic wearable products such as smart-
watches, fitness trackers, and smart clothing.
Smartwatches

Fitness Trackers

If it weren't for flexible PCBs, these devices shown above would not be as wearable. They would be clunky, cumbersome to
work with and be worn for only short periods of time if using rigid PCBs.
