A flat flex cable (FFC) or flat flexible cable (FPC) is essentially a flat version of a round cable used to connect two electronic components or systems. FFC connectors, also called FPC connectors, are used to connect to the FFC or FPC cables. The signal lines of the FFC/FPC (pitch and pitches) are much smaller than conventional cables, and can be connected to board-to-board, board-to-IC, or IC-to-IC. The FFC/FPC connector has a variety of applications and is widely used in mobile phones, computers, appliances, automotive, medical equipment, industrial control and consumer electronics.

The construction of an FFC/FPC connector usually includes a number of thin layers of copper, a substrate, a metal plate, a dielectric plate, terminals, stiffeners, a plastic housing and a ceramic substrate. The connection of the FFC/FPC to the rigid cable is usually done by soldering the terminals, which are usually attached to the copper layer. The FFC/FPC connector is usually plugged into an adapter board and connected to the system through the header interfacing. FFC/FPC connectors are designed for easy and reliable connection and can be quickly connected and disconnected without soldering.

The operating principle of an FFC/FPC connector is relatively simple. The signal cables of FFC/FPC are divided into two subcategories, ends and sides. The ends of the signal lines are inserted into a terminal. Once the terminal is inserted, it will align the pins of the FFC/FPC cable with the contact terminals of the terminal. The sidewalls are connected to a plastic shell, and the pins of the FFC/FPC cable are inserted into the contact terminals. The plastic shell then surrounds the passage of the terminals, keeping them in contact.

FFC/FPC connectors are designed to provide convenient and robust interconnection between board-to-board and board-to-IC, which has advantages over traditional connectors such as wire-to-board and wires harnessing. The advantages of FFC/FPC connectors include small size, high flexibility, low cost, easy installation, and wide range of applications. FFC/FPC connectors are suitable for applications such as automotive, consumer electronics, medical equipment, computers, appliances, industrial control and mobile phones.

Due to their flexibility, FFC/FPC connectors can be connected with other components on any plane. They can be bent in any direction to fit into tight spaces. Furthermore, the original shape and dimension of the cable can easily be restored. The flexibility of the FFC/FPC connectors also allows them to be connected with more than one component at the same time in either a point-to-point or daisy chain configuration.

The FFC/FPC connectors have a wide range of applications, including as board-to-board, board-to-IC, IC-to-IC, and for wireless connections. FPC/FFC connectors are capable of providing better transmission performance and higher speed, making them ideal candidates for use in high-speed board-to-board, board-to-IC, and IC-to-IC applications. The FFC/FPC connectors are also suitable for use as board-to-wire connections in automobile, medical and consumer electronics applications.

FFC/FPC connectors offer many advantages over conventional connectors including small size, high flexibility, and low cost. The connectors are also easy to install, making them ideal for applications where space is limited. The compact size also allows them to be easily integrated into small and tight spaces. Furthermore, the wide range of applications lends itself to a variety of applications and the robust construction ensures the reliability and durability of the connector.
