FFC/FPC Connectors

Flat Flexible Connectors (FFC) and Flexible Printed Circuits (FPC) are connectors that provide a reliable electrical connection between two cords, a board, or other devices. The connectors are designed for use in applications where the devices are expected to be subjected to vibration, tight spaces, or frequent removal. They are also suitable for use in applications where direct contact or electrical interference may be present.

10051922-2410ELF Application Field and Working Principle

The 10051922-2410ELF FFC/FPC segments provide 24 circuits, 2.54 mm centerline spacing, 0.2 mm contact pitch, and a contact rating of 1A. The majority of the device is constructed from PBT + 30% V0 rating with molded contacts and has a pitch and reel of 0.35 mm�2.54 mm. Ideally suited for power button applications or use in the control of a variety of electronic devices, the 10051922-2410ELF is ideal for applications that require a reliable electrical connection due to vibration, tight spaces, frequent removal, or even direct contact.

The 10051922-2410ELF is equipped with an extended lower shield (ELF) that helps reduce EMI/noise interference on the signal paths and provides additional protection against mechanical stress. The bottom shield also serves as a soil barrier, which can help to prevent unwanted electrostatic discharge protection.

The 10051922-2410ELF FFC/FPC features mechanical contacts constructed from stamped and pre-plated copper alloy with a gold plating on the contact area. These mechanical contacts are designed to slide between two stiffener ribs located on the mating side of the connector, creating a reliable electrical connection between two devices. Additionally, a locking latch is built into the connector to ensure the secure attachment of two devices.

The device has a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C, and is RoHS compliant. It is suitable for automated pick and place assembly, and is UL and CSA approved. The 10051922-2410ELF is also compatible with standard FFC/FPC socket versions, allowing it to be used in a variety of applications.

Conclusion

The 10051922-2410ELF FFC and FPC connectors are designed to provide reliable electrical connections in applications that require vibration, tight spaces, frequent removal, or even direct contact. The extended lower shield and the built-in locking latch help to ensure the secure attachment of two devices while also providing additional EMI/noise interference protection and electrostatic discharge protection. The device is RoHS compliant, UL and CSA approved, and suitable for automated pick and place assembly.
