1-487769-1 Connectors, Interconnects

FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors – Housings (1-487769-1) are a type of electrical connectors used in the assembly of electronics. These connectors are mainly used for connecting and transferring signals between two printed circuit boards (PCBs). They are usually found in computers, electronic networking equipment, electronic measurement and control equipment, and other applications. The type of connector is referred to as flat flexible because it consists of a flat flexible conductor that is molded to encapsulate the electrical signals.

FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors – Housings are generally made of a plastic connector housing that has several solder terminals or plugs and receptacles. These terminals and receptacles are connected to each other by means of an electrical conductor, usually a copper alloy such as copper or gold-plated copper. This type of connector is very small in size and is designed to take up minimal space on a PCB.

The capacitance of FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors – Housings is relatively low compared to other similar connectors. This means that it can carry less electrical current than other types of connectors, making it more suitable for low-frequency and/or low-power applications such as computer peripheral connections, network interface circuits, and other similar applications. The connectors are capable of carrying up to 1 A DC current.

The working principle of FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors – Housings is simple. When two electrical terminals are connected, electricity flows through the flat flexible conductor as a result of the applied voltage across the terminals. The conductor then creates a bridge between the two terminals, and the electrical current can then pass through the terminals. This allows the electrical signals to be transferred between the terminals.

FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors – Housings are used in many different types of applications. Some examples include computer circuit boards, networking and communications systems, instrumentation and control circuits, automotive and aerospace applications, and medical imaging systems. The connectors are particularly suitable for use in very tight spaces, owing to their small size.

The 1-487769-1 FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors – Housings are widely used in many different industries, owing to their low cost, small size, and reliable performance. They are also easy to install and are relatively durable, making them a popular choice for a wide range of applications.
