Flexible flat cables (FFCs) and flexible printed cables (FPCs) are specialized cable assemblies that are designed to provide flexible links between printed circuit boards (PCBs). In addition to space savings, these cables are designed to reduce connector points, add versatility to manufacturing design, reduce EMI emissions, and provide environmental protection between components. The connector housings used for FFC/FPC connections are designed with four to seven terminals and are often referred to as 4-88179-2 connectors.

Part number 4-88179-2 is a connector manufactured by Molex. It is basically a plastic housing that supports a series of pins for a flat flex cable. This housing is most commonly used in automotive applications and is particularly well-suited for areas with limited space. The housing is designed with a slim profile that allows it to fit into tight spaces.

The 4-88179-2 connector is designed to work with ribbon cables that have up to seven conductors. The pins within the housing allow for secure connections between the terminals, ensuring that the electrical signals are transmitted with minimal loss. This type of connector also helps to reduce EMI emissions that can interfere with other electronic components. In addition, the housing provides environmental protection and protection against dust and moisture.

In order to maximize the efficiency of the 4-88179-2 connector, it must be properly installed. This typically involves soldering the pins into the holes on the PCB. After the pins have been soldered, the edge of the flat flex cable is inserted into the housing and a snap fit connection is achieved. This type of connection helps to ensure that the housing is held securely in place.

Using a connector such as the 4-88179-2 can help to improve the performance of a PCB. The reduced connector points and slim profile of the housing make it a great choice for a variety of applications. The pins allow for secure connections between the terminals, and the housing helps to reduce EMI emissions and offer environmental protection. By properly installing this type of connector, manufacturers can ensure that their products operate at optimal levels.
