FF0829SA1-R300 Datasheet/PDFFlat Flexible Cables (FFCs) and Flat Printed (FPCs) are two types of connectors used in various electronic devices, and the FF0829SA1-R300 is an example of such a connection. They are most commonly used in electronics such as PCs, digital cameras, game consoles, and small appliances. The FF0829SA1-R300 is a right angle floating type FFC/FPC connector with 5.08mm spacing. It is commonly found in a variety of products such as medical equipment, home theater systems, and solar cells.
Overview of FFC and FPC Connectors
FFC/FPC connectors are special type of electrical connectors used for connecting printed circuit boards (PCBs) or other objects to electrical components containing pins or contact pads. They are also used in printed circuit board (PCB) designs and provide a connection between a PCB and any other electronic components with pins or contact pads. These connectors are designed for high-speed, high-density connections and are widely used for applications demanding high current capacity. FFCs are flat flexible cables that use special insulated crimps to connect their contacts to the wires of the device, while FPCs are more similar to regular circuit boards and use solderable lands. FFCs are usually preferred for applications where flexibility is necessary, while FPCs are more suitable for applications requiring a permanent, reliable connection.
Benefits of Using FFC/FPC Connectors
FFC/FPC connectors provide a reliable connection between two objects. They can be used in both high density and low density applications and can support more than 2000 pins in a single connector. They also provide anti-vibration/anti-corrosion performance and offer flexibility for various electronic devices. Other advantages of using FFC/FPC connectors include a low electrical resistance, higher durability and cost efficiency. They are also easier to install than traditional connector types and require minimal termination tooling.
Application and Working Principle of FF0829SA1-R300
The FF0829SA1-R300 is a 5.08mm pitch floating FFC/FPC connector right angle type, with floating action that is designed for use in high current applications. The connector has the capability to reduce stress between the connection and contacts and performs in rugged environments. The connector has shielded interface and multiple mounting options for in-board terminals, enabling the user to change mounting angle as needed. This connector is commonly used for high-density circuit and printer/copier applications. The working principle is that when the Plastic Injection Molded (PIM) FFC/FPC is inserted in the connector, it snaps into the slot between the mating sides. The contacts come in contact with the FFC/FPC as it is inserted, providing a reliable connection.
Conclusion
FFC and FPC connectors are commonly used in various electronic applications due to their cost efficiency and high current capacity. This article has discussed the application and working principle of the FF0829SA1-R300 connector, an example of a FFC/FPC connector. This connector is designed to provide a reliable, high-speed, high-density connection and is commonly used for medical equipment, home theater systems, and solar cells. The connector allows for greater flexibility, durability, and ease of installation.
