Flat Flexible (FFC) connections, widely known as FPC connectors, are an extremely versatile and reliable type of electrical connection used in a variety of applications. These electrical connections are found in consumer electronics such as laptops, cell phones, and other mobile devices. They are also used in medical equipment, automotive electronics, aerospace and industrials. As technology advances, these connections are becoming increasingly popular, as they provide the advantages of reduced size and lower cost compared to other types of connectors.

A flat flexible connection consists of two flexible strips of insulation material, each of which has either conductive elements or exposed metal contacts. The contacts are then lined up with those of the other strip and are connected together with a welding process. Generally, the lower the contact pitch, the better the design flexibility and greater the capability to transmit data at maximum speed.

Due to their greater flexibility and light weight, FPC connectors are often used in small form factor applications. The flexible connector allows for movement between two devices, while also maintaining a secure connection. This movement or flex of the connection is what makes FPCs so superior to other more rigid connections. FPCs are also ideal for applications where board-to-board connections are desired, as the flexibility of the connection allows for the boards to be stacked more closely together and reduce space needed.

The working principle of FPCs is based on the fact that the flexible conductor material can easily be bent or curved and can form around the edges in a smooth shape, with the contacts firmly connecting to each other. This characteristic contributes to the ease of manufacturing FPCs and facilitates the following processes:

• Cutting of the contacts from the sheet material
• Attaching of the conductors to the contact
• Clinching of the contact strips together
• Crimp forming of the contacts
• Insertion of the contact into a bracket and the attaching of a shielding

In addition, FPCs are used in many areas where high frequency signals and data transmission is required. They are used in high speed digital, RF and electromagnetic applications, and are designed to reduce noise and signal interference. In these applications, FPCs can provide high speed transmissions while consuming less power than other types of connections.

FPCs, due to their flexible and compact design, are also now used in a variety of different applications. These include automotive, medical, consumer electronics, industrial and military applications. In automotive applications, FPCs are used for the connection of in-vehicle control systems, as well as the higher speed multimedia systems such as entertainment systems.

In medical applications, FPCs are used to connect into medical imaging devices, such as MRI and CT scanners. In consumer electronics, FPCs are used for connecting low level devices such as chargers and switches, as well as higher speed data connections for wireless networks and digital cameras. In industrial applications, FPCs are used to connect into power control systems, as well as other machines.

In military applications, FPCs are used for high speed data transfers, and can connect multiple devices. This makes them ideal for communications networks, as well as weapon systems and navigation equipment.

FFC and FPC connections offer a great deal of flexibility and versatility over other types of connections, making them an ideal choice for a variety of applications. As technology continues to advance, FFC and FPC connections will become increasingly important, and more applications will be suited to this type of connection.
