10022753-014LF Application Field and Working Principle

FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors

FFC or FPC connectors, usually referred to as Flat Flexible or FPC connectors, are designed to provide reliable, high-density, and low-profile connections between two Printed Circuit boards (PCBs) or electronic components. These connectors offer the flexibility to design a wide range of custom connections for a wide range of apparatus.

The 10022753-014LF is an example of a FFC or FPC connector. This particular connector is a 14-way, wire-to-board, single row connector. It includes a gold plated contact, tin plated housing, and a sliding lock design for secure connection. This connector has excellent noise immunity characteristics and provides up to 0.5A of current per contact and a rated voltage of 2A.

Application Field

The 10022753-014LF FFC/FPC connectors are used in a wide variety of applications. These connectors are most commonly used in consumer electronics such as smartphones, handheld portable electronic devices, and car navigation help systems. The connectors are also suitable for use in industrial automation components, medical equipment, and embedded systems.

Working Principle

FFC/FPC connectors provide a reliable connection between two Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). The connectors are basically composed of an insulated flexible plastic base and two sets of contacts. The connector has a slot, into which a ribbon connector is inserted. On the other side, two patterned plastic flexibly hinges attach the flexible cable to the PCB. The design of the connector ensures that the connection is secure and provides good electrical contact without damaging either the cable or the PCB during the assembly process.

When the connector is inserted, the contacts make contact with the conductive pathways on the PCBs on either side. The contacts on the flexible plastic base are coded to ensure that only proper connections are made. The coded contacts help to prevent accidental connections between the two PCBs that could cause short circuits or other electrical problems.

FFC/FPC connectors offer a number of advantages over traditional wire-to-board connections. These connectors are much easier to assemble because they are very light and the contacts are pre-made. Additionally, the contacts\' tin-plated housing help to prevent oxidation and corrosion of the contacts, making them highly reliable connections for long-term use. FFC/FPC connectors are particularly well-suited for applications that require frequent assembly and disassembly.

Conclusion

The 10022753-014LF FFC/FPC connector is a reliable, high-density, and low-profile connector. This connector is used in a wide variety of applications, most commonly in consumer electronics, industrial automation components, medical equipment, and embedded systems. This connector has a simple working principle that consists of a flexible plastic base with two sets of contacts that make electrical connections when connected. This connector is highly reliable due to its tin-plated housing and coded contacts that help to prevent improper connections.
