Introduction of FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors

Flexible Flat Cable (FFC) connectors are the ultra-compact, light-weight and low-profile electrical connection interfaces that bridges connections between two printed circuit boards or between any modular devices and a printed circuit board. FFC connectors can provide connection points of virtually any length and shape, to reduce design constraints and cost. This article will describe the application field and working principle of the HFW4R-1STE9LF FFC connector.

Application Fields

FFC (flat flexible connector) connectors have become popular in the design of many types of electronic and electrical products with applications in areas such as laptops, tablets, washing machines, telecommunication equipment, optical sensing equipment and LED lighting systems. HFW4R-1STE9LF FFC connectors are especially suitable to be used in high small-area products with tight space. Such as washing machines, digital cameras, keyboards, mobile phones, printers, set-top boxes, medical equipment, game consoles, AV equipment, video recorders, etc. This FFC connector is also recommendable in the automation, control, security and low-voltage electrical energy systems.

Working Principle & Features

The HFW4R-1STE9LF FFC connector is one-piece connector which comprises of an insulated housing and annealed copper flat cable. The cost-effective one-piece solution provides an economical solution with a maximum operating temperature of -25℃ to +80℃. Furthermore, the HFW4R-1STE9LF FFC connector provides a maximum signal frequency capacity of up to 1GHz and a current rating of up to 0.4A. It is compatible with flat cables ranging from 0.50mm to 0.65mm pitch. The connector also provides padlockable locking ability to resist from accidental disconnection. Besides, this HFW4R-1STE9LF FFC connector offers a compact design (6.3 mm height with cable) fits tight spaces, and consist of a special anti-dust cover to give superior protection against dust. Ultraviolet and soldering heat resistance also make it an ideal connector for products in harsh environments.

In addition, the foundation of FFC connector is backed by a simple and efficient design. It consists of four elements including an upper and lower insulation housing, a ribbon contact, and a metal cover. The insulation housing provides an outward conduit for the ribbon contact while the lower case provides a secure protection bridge to resist shock and vibration. The metal cover provides an extra layer of protection against dust and moisture. Finally, the ribbon contact enables easy and secure wiring.

Apart from the conduction of electrons between two boards or from a board to other modular device, the FFC connectors offer a high degree of flexibility and reliability while being light-weight and low-cost. HFW4R-1STE9LF FFC connector is compatible with flat cables range from 0.50mm to 0.65mm pitch and the padlockable locking function makes it a perfect choice to form a secure connection under harsh environment.
