65801-111LF

Flat flexible connectors (FFCs and FPCs) offer solderless interconnection between printed circuit boards (PCBs) and other electronic components. FFCs and FPCs are generally identified by their number of pins and tab length. The 65801-111LF is an example of an FFC/FPC connector that offers a 1.25 mm pin spacing and 7.4 mm tab length. The 65801-111LF offers space savings and is ideal for applications that require high-speed signals, low-profile design, and a robust interconnect solution.

Construction

The 65801-111LF FFC/FPC connector is composed of three main components: the connector body, the contact and the retention mechanism. The connector body is made from a glass-reinforced thermoplastic and is designed with a rear-locking lever that allows for secure mating. The contact is composed of a thin spring-metal strip and is designed to ensure reliable and repeatable electrical contact. Lastly, the retention mechanism is a molded slider that locks the contact into place once it is inserted in the connector body. All of these components are designed for reliability and high performance.

Applications

The 65801-111LF FFC/FPC connector has a wide range of applications in various electronic systems. It is commonly found in automotive, medical, consumer electronics, wearables, computers, and industrial and communications equipment. It is also used as a display interface in high-end consumer electronics. The 65801-111LF offers excellent signal integrity and is ideal for applications that require high-speed data transmission, such as USB, HDMI, and Ethernet connections.

Working Principle

The 65801-111LF FFC/FPC connector uses a simple, yet reliable mechanical connection. Once the connector body is inserted into the mating PCB, the rear-locking lever is engaged to secure the connection. This mechanism ensures the reliable contact retention and provides a solid electrical connection. The contact is then inserted into the connector body and secured by the retention mechanism. This process ensures a robust electrical connection that can reliably and accurately transmit signals.
