FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors

FFC, FPC (flat flexible connectors) are a flexible printed circuit with contacts on both ends. These flexible connectors bridge a gap between printed circuit boards, providing a physical and electrical connection between two PCBs, and are often used in portable electronics due to their low profile and flexibility. As such, FFC/FPC are used in a wide variety of consumer electronics, industrial equipment, medical devices, laptops, cellular phones, and numerous other applications.

FB3S071C11R3000 Application Field and Working Principle

The FB3S071C11R3000 is a flat flexible connector designed for use with high-speed digital signals. It has a 3.0mm pitch surface mount body and a low profile design, making it ideal for space-constrained applications. Its combination of contact pitch, size and displacement allows for a wide variety ofmating configurations, making it suitable for various types of cable-to-board applications. The FB3S071C11R3000 is optimized for use in applications where high-speed signal integrity is essential, such as in communications systems, data storage systems, and medical equipment

The FB3S071C11R3000 connector features a 0.3mm contact pitch. This allows for a high signal density, meaning more signal lines can fit in the same space. The mating contacts are both static-sensitive and non-magnetic, reducing the risk of static discharge and minimizing the effect of any magnetic fields. The contacts feature a durable gold coating for enhanced performance and durability. The connector features a maximum operating temperature of 125°C, allowing it to be used in a wide range of ambient temperatures. The connector has an integrated EMC shield, improving signal integrity and protecting against electromagnetic interference.

To use the FB3S071C11R3000 connector, two mating connectors must be aligned and mated. The connector is designed to be flexed, so that the two connectors can be aligned for a secure contact. To ensure a stable, accurate connection, the connector also has a retention clip to hold the two connectors in place when mated. This helps to ensure signal integrity and stability over the lifetime of the connection. The connector is also designed to be easily integrated with existing hardware, and is compatible with a wide range of PCB materials and surface mount technology.

The FB3S071C11R3000 connector is designed to provide a reliable, low profile connection for space-constrained applications. Its combination of contact pitch, size, displacement and integrated EMC shield makes it suitable for high speed digital signal integrity applications. It also features an easy to use retention clip for a secure connection. This makes it an ideal choice for a variety of portable and stationary applications including consumer electronics, industrial equipment, medical devices, laptops, cellular phones, and more.
