FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors

Flat Flexible Connectors (FFC) or Flat Printed Connectors (FPC) are connectors that have flat cables between two or more electrical terminals. The cables are typically made of a flexible material such as polyester or PVC, with a copper-printed circuit conductor that has high electrical conductivity and low contact resistance. These types of connectors are ideal for applications where space is at a premium and connection needs to be rapid. The flat cables also provide secure connection and durability.

52610-0890 Application Field and Working Principle

The 52610-0890 FFC/FPC Connector is a standard connector widely used in a variety of applications. This type of connector is often used in computers, televisions, appliances, and other consumer and commercial electronic equipment, due to its flexibility and small size. Its terminal spacing is 2.0mm, which makes it suitable for use in tight spaces.

The 52610-0890 FFC/FPC Connector has two main sections: the terminals and the cable. The terminals are housed in a plastic ‘housing’ and include several contact points that are alternatively male and female. The cable is a flat, flexible strip that has a sprocket on both sides. These sprockets allow for the cable to be be connected securely by the contact points on the terminals. When the connector is plugged in, the terminals come together and make contact with the cable, allowing for the electrical connection to be completed.

The 52610-0890 FFC/FPC Connector also has unique operational features that make it an ideal connector for many applications. For instance, it has patented “multiple sprocket”locking, which achieves secure and reliable connection. It also has low insertion and extraction force, which makes the plugging and unplugging of the connector simpler. Additionally, it has excellent insulation displacement capability and a current rating up to 3A that suits various electrical needs.

The 52610-0890 FFC/FPC Connector is an effective solution for many electrical applications where space is at a premium. Its compact size, flexible cable and secure, low-force connection make it ideally suited to a range of consumer and commercial applications.
