The FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors - Housings (2-487378-3) connect two circuits together, allowing them to communicate. They are typically used when space is limited, as the form factor is fairly small compared to traditional connectors. The FFC/FPC design also allows for some flexibility in terms of routing options, it is less of a risk to damage the connectors than with a soldered connection, and the cables are less bulky and lighter than standard cabling.

These connector housings have two parts, the receptacle and the plug/receptacle. The receptacle is often referred to as the male part, as it is the half that accepts the wire or cable. The plugs or receptacles are referred to as the female part, as they provide the internal connections to complete the circuit. The number of pins and contacts contained in the housing can vary from two to hundreds, this often dictates the price point of the particular model.

The working principle of the FFC/FPC Connector Housings is fairly simple. When both parts are correctly fitted together, a contact is made between the exposed sections of the contacts on both parts, allowing power and/or data to pass between them. This is known as a connection, as distinct from a soldered connection. The contacts or tabs on both parts are generally made from metal, such as copper, aluminum or gold-plated copper.

The FFC/FPC Connector Housings are used in a variety of applications. In the consumer electronics industry, these connectors are used to facilitate interconnections between devices, such as digital cameras and television sets. In the automotive industry, they are used in connection with sensors, notably vehicle speed sensors. In the telecoms industry, the connectors are often used in conjunction with patch panels, punch down blocks, and data jacks. In the medical device industry, they are used for electrical impedance monitoring devices and other medical monitoring and diagnostic equipments.

FFC/FPC Connector Housings also have a range of industrial applications. They are commonly used for wiring in machines and control panels, due to their space saving form factor and robust nature. The connectors can also be found in a variety of consumer-grade products and devices, such as children’s toys, calculators, and remote control devices.

The FFC/FPC Connectors - Housings (2-487378-3) are designed to be simple, reliable, and cost-effective solutions to many interconnect tasks. With their low cost and high reliability, they are increasingly being used in a wide variety of industrial and consumer electronic devices. With their easy installation, flexible routing options, and robust design, these connectors are sure to remain a go-to choice for many interconnect needs.
