FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors

Flat Flexible Connectors (FFC) and Flat Printed Circuit Connectors (FPC) are compact connectors commonly used in the electronics industry. FFC\'s are commonly used in consumer electronics, automotive, industrial automation, aviation, and military applications to provide reliable connections between two or more circuit boards. FPC\'s are often used for data transmission as they are easier to work with and support a range of transmission protocols like RS232, USB, I2C, and others.

6-120628-0 Application Field and Working Principle

The 6-120628-0 is a FFC/FPC connector designed to provide secure connections in a range of commercial, industrial, and military applications. The 6-120628-0 is a high-performance connector capable of handling up to 5A of current with an operating temperature range of -40ºC to +105ºC. This connector is equipped with a durable 8-position insulation displacement contact (IDC) system, providing reliable connections in a range of environments.

The FFC/FPC connectors have one or more contact pads on the bottom surface of the flat flexible cable. When the connector is mated to its receptacle, the contact pads create a ‘button’-like connection that creates a secure connection. The mating of the FFC/FPC connectors is relatively simple, however it is important to ensure that the contacts are properly aligned to securely mate the two components.

Advantages

FFC/FPC connectors are hugely advantageous over other alternatives because of their size and ease of connection. They are extremely space saving connectors, ideal for miniaturized electronic devices where space saving is a priority. Additionally, the ease of connection with FFC connectors has made this technology popular in consumer electronic devices such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets.

Another big advantage of FFC/FPC connectors is that they are highly reliable, making them ideal for use in mission-critical applications. With a reliable connection, the connector does not have to be replaced often and does not require regular maintenance. Additionally, the FFC/FPC connectors are capable of handling a range of transmission protocols, making them ideal for data transmission applications.

Disadvantages

There are several drawbacks to using FFC/FPC connectors. Firstly, these connectors are prone to EMI/RFI interference, which means users must take steps to properly shield their devices from interference if they plan on using these connectors to make connections. Additionally, these connectors are not suitable for use in high-vibration environments as the contact pads can become loose and create poor connections.

FFC/FPC connectors are also relatively expensive compared to other types of connection methods, making them less cost-effective for budget-conscious consumers. Additionally, these connectors require a special tool to be connected, which can be challenging for novices or first-time users with little experience.

Conclusion

FFC/FPC connectors are highly versatile and widely used in commercial, industrial, and military applications due to their small size and ability to handle a range of transmission protocols. However, these connectors can be prone to EMI/RFI interference and are not suitable for high-vibration environments due to their connection method. Additionally, these connectors are relatively expensive compared to other connection methods but may still be the best option for small, miniaturized electronics needs.
