FFC (Flat Flexible) Connectors are a type of connector specifically designed to meet the demands of today’s ever-shrinking electronic component packages. This type of connector has a wide range of applications in everything from personal electronics to large scale industrial systems.

FFC connectors are able to provide a reliable connection between two or more circuit boards or subassemblies, without sacrificing space. They offer low-profile designs that are slim and lightweight, yet are able to handle all of the necessary signals and power. This makes them ideal for applications where board-to-board connection is paramount, regardless of the space restriction in the device.

One popular example of an FFC connector is 5047403900. This is a 0.4mm pitch non-ZIF, straight, SMT FFC connector. It has a total of 12 pins, and is available in both standard panel mount, and right angle variants. The left angled version is useful for situations where the board is inclined at an angle, so that the connector can be positioned to provide the required alignment. The contact points are tin-plated, and the body is made of thermoplastic UL94 V-0 material.

The working principle behind this type of connector is based on a system of contacts contained within a plastic housing that is designed to align perfectly with the mating connector. The contacts are then pushed in against a non-conductive backing when the two connectors are brought together. Pressure is created as the contacts squeeze and hold the two circuit boards together. The key advantage of this system is that it eliminates the need for soldering and physical labor, thus saving time and money while improving the overall reliability of the connection.

FFC/FPC connectors are also widely used in robust communication and power systems, such as medical electronics, industrial automation, and aerospace. The non-ZIF types are particularly popular due to their enhanced reliability and improved performance. They are also much easier to work with, and can be quickly exchanged for another connector during an upgrade or repair.

FFC/FPC connectors are becoming increasingly popular for their convenience, reliability, and efficient use of space, and 5047403900 is a great example of this. Its slim design, coupled with its robust construction and easy-to-install nature makes it a perfect choice for any application where board-to-board connection is paramount.
