40FMN-SMT-A-TF

FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors

Flexible Flat Connectors, also referred to as FFCs, offer many advantages over the traditional fixed cable solutions. FFCs are ideal for applications where frequent assembly or re-assembly is required or where the relative motion of two components connected by a cable must be maintained or minimized. They are made from very thin and flexible insulating materials, usually polyester or polypropylene, with metalized contacts or pins in the center.

40FMN-SMT-A-TF application field and working principle

40FMN-SMT-A-TF is a type of FFC/FPC (Flat Flexible) Connector, which is a connector that can be flexibly connected between two different system components to ensure their operation is synchronized. The connector is typically used in applications where it is required to pass signals between two different systems and the need to allow for relative motion between the two components. One application would be when the two connectors are used for synchronous motor drive applications. For instance, it could be used in door systems, where it would allow the door to move while transferring data signals between the two sides.

The 40FMN-SMT-A-TF has a relatively low profile and is suitable for use with surface mounted technology, making it suitable for many use cases that require a small, lightweight, and cost effective solution. The connector has two metalized contacts and one or more pass-through circuits between the lines, which enable data transfer between the two sides. The connector also features a polarized mating system, allowing for easy mating and alignment between components.

The 40FMN-SMT-A-TF has become a popular choice in many industries, due to its small profile and its ability to handle multiple signals. It has been most commonly used in automotive applications, as it is able to handle multiple signals without increasing the weight or complexity of the component. It is also commonly used in medical and electronic devices, due to its ability to transfer data reliably between components with relative motion.

The 40FMN-SMT-A-TF is relatively easy to install and connect, making it convenient for engineers and technicians to use. It is also relatively durable, with the contacts able to withstand up to 10,000 insertion and removal cycles. This makes them suitable for use in even the most demanding applications.

In conclusion, the 40FMN-SMT-A-TF is a well-rounded FFC/FPC (Flat Flexible) connector that is designed for use in applications where the need for relative motion between two connected components is required. Its low profile, small size, and ability to handle multiple signals make it ideal for a wide range of applications. Its durability and convenience make it a popular choice among engineers and technicians, and its affordability makes it an attractive choice for even the most budget-conscious buyer.
