FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors

FFC (Flat Flexible) connectors, also known as ribbon cables, are used for a wide array of applications, from industrial machinery to consumer electronics. FFCs offer an aesthetically pleasing and cost-effective solution for signal and data transmission. These cables can be used in a wide range of settings, including automotive systems, home appliances, and medical devices. FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) connectors are a family of flat flexible electrical connectors that are increasingly popular in many industrial applications. They are available in a variety of shapes and sizes and offer great flexibility in terms of connectors and cable routing.

SFV20R-4STE1 Application Field and Working Principle

The SFV20R-4STE1 is an FFC (Flat Flexible) connector designed specifically for use in harsh environments. It is capable of withstanding a wide range of temperatures and levels of shock and vibration. Additionally, the SFV20R-4STE1 is fully sealed and the contacts are made with phosphor bronze material for improved contact reliability. This connector is ideal for use in automotive, industrial, and medical applications.

The SFV20R-4STE1\'s working principle is simple. The FFC cable is inserted into the housing, and two sets of metal spring contacts are held in tension against the metal contacts on the cable. As the cable is inserted, its metal contacts come into contact with the spring contacts, forming an electrical connection. The FFC also features a plastic housing which helps to hold the connector together, and also provides protection from shock and vibration.

The SFV20R-4STE1 can be used in a wide range of applications including as a jumper cable in automotive systems, as part of a wiring harness for home appliances, or even as an interconnect in medical device. Its flexibility in cable routing makes it suitable for tight and confined spaces. Additionally, its high temperature and high shock and vibration resistance makes it an ideal choice for long lasting performance.

The SFV20R-4STE1 is an example of FFC (Flat Flexible) and FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) connectors, which can be used in a wide variety of applications. These connectors are designed for maximum flexibility and are highly reliable. By utilizing these connectors, engineers and designers are able to create more robust and efficient products that are capable of withstanding a wide range of temperatures and levels of shock and vibration.
