Flat Flexible Connectors (FFCs) and Flat Printed Connectors (FPCs) are a type of connector developed for the completion of electronic interconnections in a number of different application fields. Primarily, the FFC and FPC connector designs are both general purpose connectors which are used for shorter-term, higher connector-count applications.

FFCs and FPCs are usually designed to connect two surface mounted printed circuit boards together, and are sometimes referred to as flat flex cables, board-to-board connectors, flexible circuit connectors, or flexible flat cables (FFCs). They are constructed from extremely thin, flexible copper conductors and are typically used for the completion of complex, high speed data connections or the transmission of power. Connecting them to their applicable components requires a dedicated FFC/FPC crimper or press and some form of FFC/FPC targeted soldering equipment.

FFCs and FPCs are available in a broad range of configurations, including differing numbers of contacts, contact types, contact mate lengths, lengths of connectors, and contact pitches. They can also feature additional features such as metal rails, dust shields, or covers, as well as further specialised features, and offer increased flexibility over custom cables. This broad range of design options allows users to customise FFC/FPC designs to the individual application.

In terms of their working principle, FFCs and FPCs utilise a push and crimp connector system. This type of connection requires the connector to be pushed into the mating surfaces, and then crimped or pressed into place to ensure proper engagement and a secure connection. This type of connection also offers improved resistance to disconnection, shock, and vibration when compared to most soldered connections.

FFCs and FPCs provide excellent electrical, mechanical, and environmental performance characteristics, and as such, are already widely-used in a number of different applications, including digital cameras, phones, computers, medical equipment, instruments, and consumer electronics products. They also offer a highly reliable, cost-effective solution for applications that require the transmission of both digital and analogue signals.

Due to their robust design and improved performance capabilities, FFC and FPC connectors can be an ideal connector technology for a variety of different application fields, including consumer electronics, automotive, industrial automation, and medical. These connectors are designed to accommodate extreme temperature ranges, high-speed connections, and multiple power and signal connections, making them an ideal solution for a wide range of applications.
