FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors are type of electrical connectors that are predominately used when space is limited because they are much thinner and have smaller sized contacts than the traditional connecters. The FFC connectors also require less installation time and lower profile joints which can make them constraining in tight spaces.

One type of FFC/ FPC Connector is the 046232105102800+ family from Omron. This particular family is designed with a slim, low-profile design which has been optimized for customers requiring internal space limitation on their products. It has a standard pitch of 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) and a minimum pitch of 1.27 mm ( 0.050 inch) and is designed to meet the needs of high-density connection.

The 046232105102800+ is a single-row connector and part of the PBP products series. It has a total of 40 positions with a max current of 0.5A and max voltage of 50V. It have mating polarizations designed to ensure consistent location of the mating connectors and also has an insulation resistance rating of 100MΩ (min) at 110V DC.

When it comes to the applications field, the 046232105102800+ can be used in a variety of areas, such as data transmission cables, medical and industrial equipment of various kinds, robotics, and much more. It can also be used in audio-visual equipment, consumer electronics, and electronic office equipment. One advantage of these connectors in the medical field is they are more vibration resistant and lighter in weight than traditional connectors.

The working principle used by FFC/FPC Connectors is fairly straightforward. When the suppliers mate into the connector, the individual flat flexible circuit cables contact the fingers of the connector. As the cable is placed into the connector, it is forced down onto the connector and flexed into the connector. This allows for a secure connection that will withstand a fair amount of force while remaining secure.

The contact fingers have two points of contact along the mating edges, which help create a solid electrical connection by absorbing any fluctuations or vibrations in the cabling system. The thickness of the conductor portion of the cable is also important. As a rule, the thinner the cable, the better the connection as more conductor levels can fit into the connector. This increases the area of contact and thus increases the quality of the connection.

The 046232105102800+ family of FFC/FPC Connectors from Omron is a great option when considering smaller electrical connections in a cramped space. Its slim low profile design, coupled with its smaller size makes it ideal for industrial and medical equipment of all kinds. The contacts of this connector are designed to have two points of contact along the mating edges, ensuring a secure connection that will withstand any external forces or vibrations without compromising the connection.
