FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors

FFC (Flat Flexible Cable) and FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) connectors are connectors used in both consumer electronics and industrial equipment. The FFC and FPC connectors market has been growing rapidly due to the increased demand for miniature, lightweight and cost-effective interconnects for small form factor applications. They are widely used in a variety of applications ranging from laptops and mobile phones to medical and industrial instrumentation, automotive and aerospace applications.

Advantages and Special Features of FFC and FPC Connectors

FFC and FPC connectors have many advantages over traditional wire-to-board and board-to-board interconnects, such as the ability to route signals through PCBs, boards, and other applications with low EMI/RFI emissions. As a result, they are ideal for applications where small size and low weight are a priority, such as with portable devices, automotive/aerospace systems, and consumer electronics for example. FFC and FPC connectors are also very reliable and offer lower costs due to their simple, two-part construction and automated assembly. In addition, FFC and FPC connectors are suitable for a variety of environmental conditions, including exposure to dust, moisture, temperature, and vibration.

0512961894 Application Field and Working Principle of FFC and FPC Connectors

FFC and FPC connectors are a type of connector that can be used for a variety of applications. These connectors are commonly used in mobile phones, laptops, cameras, portable gaming, automotive, medical, and industrial instruments. FFC and FPC connectors can also be used as interconnects for custom printed circuit boards (PCBs) or as wiring systems for general electronic equipment.

The FFC and FPC connectors have two sides; a flat flexible cable (FFC) and a flexible printed circuit board (FPC). The FFC side is a flexible cable that runs between the two connection points, and can be used to route connections in tight or confined spaces. The FPC side is usually a printed circuit board with contacts on one side. The FPC is connected to the FFC with a special type of connector, and the FPC contacts make contact with the FFC contacts.

FFC and FPC connectors typically have a low pin count, with most connectors containing between two and four cables. This low pin count means that the connectors can be used in limited space applications. FFC and FPC connectors are available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and configurations, depending on the application and desired connection type.

The FFC and FPC connectors are typically terminated with soldering, crimping, or a latch. The cable to connector termination is most commonly done by soldering, and requires special tooling for proper assembly. Crimp connectors are also used, but require more skill to assemble and cost more than soldered connectors. The latch connectors are a less expensive option, but require more force to disconnect and may cause damage to the cable or connector if not properly inserted.

Conclusion

FFC and FPC connectors offer an array of benefits over other connector technologies, including reduced cost, improved performance, and their use in confined spaces. Their miniature, lightweight, and cost-effective design makes them an ideal choice for portable and space-constrained applications. They are also reliable and can withstand a variety of environmental conditions, making them an attractive option for applications in a variety of industries.
