FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors

Flat Flexible Connectors (FFC) and Flat Printed Connectors (FPC) are two type of electrical connectors used mainly in consumer electronics applications. FFC/FPC connectors are designed to bridge the gap between an electrical or electronic component and a circuit board or other device. They are used in a variety of applications from small hand-held devices to large industrial machines.

10051922-1510ELF Application Field

The 10051922-1510ELF FFC/FPC connectors are commonly used in a variety of electronic and electronic/mechanical applications such as motor drive systems, medical equipment, consumer electronics, and automotive equipment. They are also widely used in industrial machinery, telecommunications systems, and aircraft.

10051922-1510ELF Working Principle

FFC/FPC connectors are designed to mate two opposing surfaces together via a mating surface that connects two flexible printed circuit boards. The working principle of 10051922-1510ELF FFC/FPC Connectors is based on the concept of interconnection. A contactor integrated in the connector and a perforated flexible circuit board are connected to each other. When the connector is mated with the flexible circuit board, the contactor will engage and make electrical contact between the two. The contactor is seated either with positive locking tabs or with self-aligning guides, which ensure a secure and reliable connection. Connectors are made from either a casing or an insulator material, which can be either plastic or metal. Depending on the application, a variety of contacts can be used, such as a flat sheet of metal embedded in the housing, a stamped contacts, and a single round pin or multiple pins.

10051922-1510ELF Benefits

The use of FFC/FPC connectors offers several benefits, including a smaller size and lighter weight compared to traditional connectors, improved reliability, and faster assembly. The use of FPCs also allows for a thinner and more flexible connection, which is needed in smaller and more complex applications. Additionally, FFC/FPC connectors are easy to use and require minimal soldering or wiring time.

Conclusion

10051922-1510ELF FFC/FPC connectors are widely used in a variety of applications due to their small size, lightweight, and flexibility. These connectors are also easy to use and require minimal assembly time, allowing for faster production. Furthermore, they offer improved reliability and are capable of more complex connections.
