FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors

FFC/FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors are flexible flat ribbon cables, designed to provide a quick and easy interconnect solution for a variety of electronic components. With their thin, flat form factor and their low profile, they allow greater flexibility for electronics designers. FFC/FPC connectors are widely used in a variety of consumer, industrial, automotive, computing, and medical applications.

SFV21R-4STE1HLF application field and working principle

SFV21R-4STE1HLF FFC/FPC connectors are designed for use in high-density flat flexible cable applications and are available with various pitches and terminations. They have a 0.50mm pitch (center-to-center spacing) and feature a vertical SMT mounting orientation. These connectors are suitable for automated assembly applications and can withstand temperatures up to 120°C.

The SFV21R-4STE1HLF FFC/FPC cable connectors feature a zero insertion force (ZIF), which reduces the mating force required by mating the two halves together. This feature reduces the possibility of damage to the cable or connector components.

These connectors are available with either insulated or uninsulated contacts and may be mated with standard FFC/FPC cables or Flat Flexible ribbon cables. They are typically used in a variety of applications such as LCD displays, cameras, Automotive Diagnostic Equipment, set-top boxes, and more.

SFV21R-4STE1HLF FFC/FPC connectors are also designed to provide reliable electrical contact and a secure mechanical mating on both ends of a flex cable assembly. The connectors feature gold plated contact and a secure interlocking one-piece housing and have a 10A rated current and a 1000V rated voltage.
