Flat flexible connectors (FFC, FPC connectors)

Flat flexible connectors (FFC/FPC) are one type of electrical connectors used to connect flat cables and components. Their two primary advantages are their small size and flexibility, allowing for them to be used in space-saving applications. Depending on the application, FFC/FPX connectors offer many unique advantages, from electrical and mechanical performance to space-saving, cost-effectiveness, and robust design.

The AYF214135 connector is one type of flat flexible connector and is designed and manufactured for a number of applications in consumer electronics, computer, communication, automotive, and medical fields. It is a two-piece, stamped sheet metal connector composed of a mating side and a termination side.

Application field of AYF214135

The AYF214135 is typically used in applications where space is limited and requires a connector which can be easily routed. It is well suited for very tight space requirements or applications where PCB space is at a premium. The most common applications of the connector are in consumer electronics such as audio/visual equipment, computer peripherals, and automotive products like GPS and climate control systems.

This type of connector is also widely used for internal cable routing applications in medical equipment due to its small size and flexibility. Aside from these areas, the AYF214135 has been used in a variety of other products such as printers, cash registers, and handheld GPS devices.

Working principle of AYF214135

The AYF214135 connector works by mating two connectors together, one side being the mating side and the other side being the termination side. The mating side consists of a piece of stamped sheet metal that is shaped in a certain way to provide a stable connection. It is designed so that when two mating connectors are connected, the sheet metal on one side slides into the sheet metal on the other side.

The termination side of this connector consists of a series of tiny electrical contacts connected to individual wires. These wires are then connected to a substrate on the PCB or device. When the mated connectors are connected, the electrical contacts on the termination side slide into the sheet metal on the mating side and establish a secure connection.

The AYF214135 connector is designed to provide a secure electrical connection while also resisting damage from external vibrations. It is also designed for repeated use, meaning that it can be safely mated and unmated multiple times without issue.

Conclusion

The AYF214135 Flat Flexible Connector is a versatile, space-saving electrical connector that is widely used in consumer electronics, computer peripherals, automotive, and medical applications. It is composed of two pieces, a mating side and a termination side, which work together to provide a secure electrical connection. Its small size and flexibility make it ideal for applications with tight space constraints, while its durable construction allows it to be used multiple times without issue.

In summary, the AYF214135 Flat Flexible Connector is a reliable, space-saving electrical connector that is perfect for a wide range of applications. Whether it’s consumer electronics, medical equipment, or automotive products, this connector can provide a secure connection with minimal effort and space.
