FFCs and FPCs are an integral part of many consumer electronics products, providing a flexible and durable connection between electronic components. FFCs and FPCs are available in various sizes and pitches depending on the application.

FFCs and FPCs are ideal for use in products requiring space savings, durability and ease of assembly, such as laptop computers, cell phones, digital cameras, PDAs, camcorders, automotive and telecommunications products. FFCs and FPCs are also used in some specialized industrial and medical applications.

FFCs and FPCs are designed to be rugged and reliable. The interconnect is highly resistant to shocks, vibrations, temperature and humidity. The connector takes up minimal space on the board, while providing solid, reliable connections. In addition, FFCs and FPCs are very easy to assemble and disassemble.

FFC and FPC interconnects use a unique physical contact design that ensures a secure and reliable connection even in highly hostile or corrosive environments. The contact of an FFC or FPC consists of two opposing sides that make physical contact with each other. Each side has a set of ridges or “teeth” which interlock when the connector is mated. As the connector is mated, the teeth on both sides push and stretch the flexible circuit which creates a friction surface on the contact area to ensure a secure connection.

FFCs and FPCs offer a reliable connection in a small package. They are used in numerous products, and have become increasingly popular due to their easy assembly, durability, reliability and space savings.
