Introduction

Flat Flexible Connectors (FFC/FPC) are basically small, flexible circuits that are used to connect two electronic components. FFCs have become the most commonly used forms of connection due to their advantages of low cost, lightweight, relatively low profile, easy installation and maintenance. The SFW20S-2STE1 Flat Flexible Connector is an example of a FFC connector that has been designed to make electrical connection between two printed circuit boards (PCBs) as easy as possible.

Application Field

The SFW20S-2STE1 Flat Flexible Connector is suitable for use in multiple applications such as personal computers, consumer electronics, automotive systems, portable devices, and communications systems. It is a great choice for system designers and engineers looking for a low-profile, high-speed, reliable and cost-effective connection between two PCBs. Thanks to its special features, the SFW20S-2STE1 has become one of the most popular connectors for automotive and consumer electronics applications in particular.

Working Principle

The SFW20S-2STE1 Flat Flexible Connector works by inserting an FFC cable between two PCBs (typically one acting as a \'receiver\' and one acting as a \'transmitter\'). On the transmitter end, the FFC cable has two contacts that make contact with the circuit board. When this happens, an electrical current circuit is formed between the two illuminated pins on the PCBs that the FFC is connected to. This ensures that the two PCBs are able to communicate with one another, as well as supply power and data signals between them.

Conclusion

The SFW20S-2STE1 Flat Flexible Connector is an ideal choice for applications where a reliable connection needs to be established between two PCBs. In addition to offering a low profile, high speed data throughput and reliable data connections, it is also very affordable, easy to install, and maintain. Thanks to its features, the SFW20S-2STE1 has become one of the most popular connectors for automotive and consumer electronics applications in particular.
