FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors - SFW18R-2STE1LF Application Field and Working Principle

FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors, which stands for flexible flat electrical cable connectors, have become increasingly popular in recent years. They are some of the most common types of electrical connectors and can be used in myriad applications, ranging from automotive and consumer to commercial or medical use. SFW18R-2STE1LF, a two-port solderless FFC connector, is one such popular connector with applications in various industries.

These two-port FFC connectors are designed in a small size so that they can be easily applied to narrow spacing between components. In addition, they feature a positive-locking design, which allows automatic mating and high-retention forces for a secure connection. This connector is also dust and water-resistant, making it suitable for harsh environments.

Working Principle

The SFW18R-2STE1LF operates on a conductive contact principle. The contact end of the connector features a positive-locking, FFL type guide mechanism, which allows for automatic mating and high-retention forces when mated. It provides a secure connection between the two points while allowing for easy connection and disconnection. All contacts within the connector are gold-plated to ensure longer lasting performance.

The connectors feature two electrical terminals in a push-and-side jointing method. The baseplate of the connector is made from stamped steel which acts as a ground connection. The cable is inserted between the two contact pins between which it flexes as the connection is made. It is then locked in place by the positive-locking mechanism.

Application Field

The SFW18R-2STE1LF is widely used in automotive, consumer, commercial, and medical industries. In the automotive industry, it is used for connecting and controlling various components, such as ECUs, navigation systems, audio amplifiers, and radio receivers. It is also used in consumer-level electronics, such as digital cameras, PCs, and similar applications. Furthermore, this connector is FFC operational compliant and thus can be used in the medical field for diagnostic and testing equipment.

The SFW18R-2STE1LF is ideal for designs requiring a thin connection at a narrow spacing between components. As a result, it is widely used in the design and assembly of many electronic devices and can be found in various industries, including automotive, medical, and consumer markets.

Conclusion

FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors are widely used in many different industries due to their small size, positive-locking design, and gold-plated contacts. The SFW18R-2STE1LF is a two-port solderless FFC connector designed for narrow spacing between components. It has a variety of applications, including automotive, consumer, commercial, and medical fields. As a result, SFW18R-2STE1LF has become a popular choice for many electronic device designs and assemblies.
