SFW15R-1STGE1LF

Flexible Flat Connectors, commonly known as FFCs or FPCs, have become commonplace in many industrial, consumer, and commercial applications in recent years. They are an efficient and cost-effective means of connecting electrical components and are found in wide range of end products, including computers, digital cameras, cellphones, automotive electronics, home appliances, and medical equipment.

The SFW15R-1STGE1LF connector is a type of flat flexible connector (FFC) designed to make electrical connections between circuit boards in space-restricted applications, such as embedded systems or hand-held devices. It is manufactured from a single sheet of material, which is then pressed and punched to create the contact areas and provide the necessary electrical connection.

The SFW15R-1STGE1LF connector is classed as an FFC for good reasons. Its thin, flat profile allows it to be flexed repeatedly in a vertical direction, with up to one million flex cycles and with no damage caused to the contacts. This feature gives the SFW15R-1STGE1LF connector its extreme flexibility, enabling it to be used in tight spaces with minimal risk of damage.

The connector provides an excellent electrical interface for a variety of applications, including medical, telecommunications, and consumer electronics. Because the contact area is formed when the connector is manufactured, the performance and quality of the connection is consistent, which makes it suitable for reliable and durable connections. The connector can also be used in harsh environments, since its press-fit contact formation prevents dust particles and moisture from entering the contact area.

The SFW15R-1STGE1LF connector has a unique working principle that enables it to create reliable and consistent electrical connections with minimal effort. The connector is made up of two parts – a contact portion and a tether. The contact portion is composed of two rows of gold-plated contacts, arranged in an arrangement known as the Zigzag layout. This arrangement helps to ensure that the contacts are correctly aligned and make reliable direct contact when the two parts of the connector are mated.

The tether, on the other hand, is composed of a flexible insulated material that is designed to hold the connector together when mated. This ensures that the contact area remains properly aligned, providing an effective electrical connection over multiple flex cycles. The tether also helps to protect the contacts from shock, vibrations, or misalignment due to changes in temperature or humidity.

The SFW15R-1STGE1LF connector is a versatile and reliable connector that offers superior electrical performance in space-restricted applications. Its reliable, tight connection helps to ensure consistent performance in medical, telecommunications, and consumer electronics applications. Its unique working principle means that the contacts are reliably aligned and correctly connected, with minimal effort, over multiple flex cycles.
