16FMN-BMTTR-A-TB

Flat Flexible Connectors (FFC & FPC) provide a reliable and cost effective solution for interconnect applications in many different industries. FFC connectors consist of two flat contacts, the contact face of which is partially exposed or completely sealed. Conversely, FPC connectors may have up to three hundred very thin flexible contacts that are sandwiched together between two sheets of flexible polyimide film. The extremely thin contacts enable this type of connector to be used in very tight spaces.

The 16FMN-BMTTR-A-TB series is an example of FFC/FPC Connectors. This series belongs to a widely used type of application field in communication, consumer electronic, automotive, and industrial applications, and has become one of the most commonly used flat flexible connections, providing a reliable solution to a variety of interconnect applications. The contacts are rated for a current range from 0.5 to 3 Amps, and offer a useful voltage range from 125V to 250V.

The working principle behind FFC/FPC Connectors is straightforward. The contacts offer reliable and robust connections when they are mated, and are sealed by a scientifically designed vulcanized rubber housing. When assembling, the contact enters the socket and gets driven by the bottom shell. The top shell interference fits with the side of the contacts and works together with the bottom part of the housing to generate a permanent and reliable connection. This method of contact mating ensures that the routing performance offers a stable contact surface for low insertion loss and low crosstalk.

A low profile dimension and a light weight are further advantages of FFC and FPC Connectors. They are easy to use and provide an excellent level of protection against vibration, water, dust, and other environmental influences. The 16FMN-BMTTR-A-TB series additionally features a secure self-aligning connection when plugged in, and offers contact protection with its high temperature silicone seal.
