Flat Flexible Connectors (FFC, FPC)

Flat Flexible Connectors (FFCs) are thin and flexible electrical connections used for a variety of applications. FFCs are designed to connect two printed circuit boards (PCBs) or can also be used to join two wires together. FFCs are a popular choice for applications where space is limited. They are also ideal for when frequent changes in orientation or movement between two components are required.

The type of FFC used depends on the application. The standard FFC is used for electrical connections inside of a device and is available in sizes ranging from 0.5 mm (0.02 in.) to 2.5 mm (0.1 in.). The standard FFC can be connected with a crimping tool or a soldering iron. Other types of FFCs are available for applications such as panel mounting, ribbon cable assemblies, and waterproof connectors.

FFC connectors use very small contact plates to connect two electrical components. Many FFC connectors incorporate a locking mechanism to keep the connector secure. The locking mechanism can be done with a clamp that snaps into place, a latch that is secured with a screw, or a peg or clip that slides into place. The contact plates are either made of metal or a conductive plastic.

FFCs are commonly used in consumer electronic products, automotive systems, medical equipment, industrial electrical systems, aerospace components, telecommunications networks, and computer applications. FFCs can also be used in harsh environments, where resistance to extreme temperatures, vibration, and shock are critical.

The working principle behind FFCs is relatively simple. When connected, the contact plates touch which allows electricity to pass through. It is important that the contact plates are connected correctly in order to ensure that the connection will be reliable. FFCs are generally aided by insulation material to minimize the risk of electric shock and other hazards.

FFCs are available in various pitches and have various contact numbers. They can also come with a single row or a double row of terminals. Different types of FFCs are designed to satisfy different requirements such as waterproof and dustproof applications.

In conclusion, FFCs are widely used in many different applications. They are designed to be thin and flexible and use very small contact plates to connect two electrical components, making them a suitable solution in applications where space is limited. FFCs are also resistant to extreme temperatures, vibration, and shock, making them suitable for harsh environments. The working principle behind FFCs is relatively simple which makes them an ideal solution for a variety of applications.
