Flat flexible connectors (FFC) are specialized connectors designed to be used in space-constrained applications. They consist of two flat spring-like contact pins typically located at the end of a flexible ribbon cable or thin film. FFCs are typically found in peripheral devices such as keyboards, mice, scanners, point-of-sale terminals, and many more.

A variant of FFCs, called FPC (flex-rigid pin connectors), utilize ultra fine pitch connections, connecting multiple pins, and are often used when distance requirements are tight. FPCs are also used in sites where space is at a premium, including medical devices, GPS systems, and pocket-sized computers.

FC1-12-01-T-K-TR is an example of a flat flexible connector. The “FC” stands for Flat Connector. The “1” indicates the number of contacts (in this case, there is one contact). The “12” indicates the pitch size — the distance between the contacts — in tenths of a millimeter (in this case, it is 1.2 millimeters). The “01” indicates the width of the flexible cable in tenths of a millimeter (in this case, it is 0.1 millimeters). The “T” indicates the style of contact — in this case, a type B contact (thick contact). The “K” indicates the type of key on the connector — in this case, a straight key. Finally, the “TR” indicates the mating orientation — in this case, terminal to terminal.

The working principle of FFC and FPC is similar, in that they both utilize two flat spring-like contact pins at the end of a flexible ribbon cable or thin film. However, the FPC differs in that it utilizes ultra fine pitch connections and can connect multiple pins. When a voltage is applied, current will flow through the FFC or FPC, making the connection and completing a circuit.

FFC and FPC connectors are essential components for a variety of applications, including consumer electronics, automotive, industrial, medical, telecom, and many more. They are ideal for space-constrained applications, and are widely used for their simple and efficient design. FFC and FPC connectors are quickly becoming the preferred choice, due to their affordability and ability to reduce assembly time.
