FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors are vital components used in almost every modern electronics device. They are used for connecting two or more printed circuit boards, enabling flexibility between them. The HFW18R-2STE5LF is a connector specifically designed to meet high performance requirements in industrial applications.

Application Field

The HFW18R-2STE5LF connectors are designed for use in a wide range of applications:

• Industrial networking and data communication
• Industrial automation and process control
• Military and aerospace
• Audio/video equipment
• Computers, logic and memory boards
• Test and measurement equipment
• Medical equipment
• Datacom backplanes

The flexibility of the HFW18R-2STE5LF connectors make them ideal for environments where space, vibration, and temperature changes are a factor. The connectors have an operating temperature of -55 to 125°C and can withstand up to 1,000 mating cycles. Additionally, they are rated for shock, vibration, and sealing and have an IP67 ingress protection rating.

Working Principle

The HFW18R-2STE5LF connectors are a type of FFC (Flat Flexible) Connector. FFC connectors offer high speed performance and improved signal integrity thanks to their unique design. Unlike traditional connectors that use a printed circuit board in order to connect two components, FFC connectors use a flexible printed circuit that enables a wide range of motion which reduces the chance of signal interference or breakage.

The FFC connectors have two main components: the contact and the actuator. The contact is made of a resilient metal spring which connects two metal terminals. The actuator is a flat flexible tape made of a flexible polymer which is attached to the contact to enable movement of the contact. The contact fits into the actuator and is connected to the contact terminals at either end of the actuator, thereby creating a connection.

A FFC connector operates in a simple fashion. When two components need to be connected, the FFC connector is placed between the two components. Once in place, pressure is applied to the connector in order to activate the contact. This creates an electrical connection between the two components.

FFC connectors are a versatile and reliable way to connect two components. They are much more flexible than traditional connectors and offer improved signal integrity. The HFW18R-2STE5LF connectors are designed for high performance in industrial applications, offering superior durability, temperature range, and shock and vibration resistance. They are the perfect choice for applications where space, vibration, temperature, and shock are factors.
