Flat Flexible Cable (FFC) and Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) Connectors provide a cost effective solution for a variety of applications. FFC and FPC are available in two main types of connection designs: snap-in and zif, which provide easy and secure connection of wires and/or printed circuits to the mating connector. Both types can be supplied with or without a plastic base body for mounting.

FFC Connectors

FFC connectors are designed for fast and simple cable interconnection. They feature a flat flexible cable that is soldered to the printed circuit board or shielded cable. FFC connectors provide a simple and secure connection with minimum force. In addition, they can be supplied in single or dual row layouts in a variety of sizes and contact configurations, and the flexible cable allows for a wide range of application-specific design flexibility.

FPC Connectors

FPC Connectors are designed for small and high-density applications that require maximum flexibility. They feature a flexible circuit board which is soldered to a printed circuit board or shielded cable, and can be used in place of standard pinheader or ribbon connectors to reduce the required pitch and board footprint. FPC Connectors provide maximum flexibility and are available in horizontal and vertical configurations, making them ideal for a wide variety of applications.

Working Principle

Both FFC and FPC connectors rely on the same basic principles for their operation. The flexibility of the cable or circuit board allows them to be easily inserted into a mating connector, and the contacts are then held in place by spring loaded arms or metal cams. The connections are secured by soldering or crimping the contact terminals onto the cable or board. The connections are then tested for continuity and any excess movement is prevented by the securing mechanism.

Application Field

FFC and FPC Connectors are suited for a variety of applications, including consumer electronics, automotive, telecommunications, and medical. Their flexibility and low cost make them suitable for applications where space is limited, and they are widely used in applications such as hard drives, memory cards, mobile phones, GPS devices, and laptop computers. Due to their low cost and versatility, FFC and FPC Connectors are increasingly being used in smaller, low-cost products.

Conclusion

Flat Flex Cable (FFC) and Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) Connectors provide a cost-effective solution for a variety of applications, and are available in both snap-in and zif connectivity designs. These connectors provide maximum flexibility with minimum force, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. In addition, their low cost makes them ideal for smaller, low-cost products.
