FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors

FFC and FPC (Flat Flexible) connectors are electrical connectors used primarily in computers and consumer electronics. FFC and FPC connectors are composed of flexible printed circuits with a range of electrical components, commonly used for connecting internal boards. These connectors are smaller and more reliable than other types of connections, providing better signal integrity and lower power consumption.

FFC connectors have pins or pads that line up with corresponding pads on the mating connector. The contacts are enclosed in an insulated cable or tubing. These connectors have a single row of pins and can be mounted in tight spaces or locations. FPC connectors have a flexible insulation layer with multiple contact pads that can be bent in a zigzag pattern. The versatile design of these connectors allows for a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and contact positions.

The FFC/FPC connector series FC1-23-L1-T-K is one of the most popular types of FFC/FPC connectors, widely used in a variety of applications. The main features of this series are:

• High-density design, up to 16 contacts per linear inch
• UL-rated for up to 420 VAC
• Suitable for high-density applications
• Smooth, low-profile design
• Healthy electrical contact life cycle with proper mating
• Multi-position connection configuration
• Robust construction for reliable connections
• Wide operating temperature range (from -20°C to +105°C)
• Flexible shape and design for easy integration into existing systems

FC1-23-L1-T-K connectors are widely used in various applications in computer and consumer electronics, such as computer disk drives, cellular phones, copiers/printers, robots, CCTV cameras, HDTVs, home entertainment systems, and medical equipment. The operating principle of these connectors is fairly simple: electrical current is transmitted through the contacts when the two mating halves are firmly mated. The contacts of the connector are typically made from gold-plated phosphor bronze.

FFC/FPC connectors have become increasingly popular due to their versatile design, small size, and high reliability. They are ideal for use in high-density applications where space is limited. The low-profile design makes them easy to integrate into existing systems. In addition, the wide operating temperature range of the FC1-23-L1-T-K series allows for use in demanding applications.
