Introduction

Flat Flexible(FFC/FPC) Connectors are an interfacing solution widely used in many industries. They are designed to be both flexible and durable, with a flat profile that easily snaps into place. The variety of choices offered by FFC/FPC Connectors make them a great option for a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics to medical devices.

SFW30R-3STAE1LF Application Field and Working Principle

The SFW30R-3STAE1LF is a T shaped FFC/FPC Connector manufactured by Molex. It is a standard pitch FFC/FPC Connector that is available in a variety of termination types. It is designed to be used in applications requiring a secure connection with optimal packaging density. The SFW30R-3STAE1LF was developed to meet the challenge of providing reliable connections that minimize EMI, RFI, and crosstalk. This connector features patented CI for optimum performance.

The SFW30R-3STAE1LF is designed to provide maximum flexibility in a small size. It has a 3.0mm pitch with 2-piece ZIF (zero insertion force) construction with an option for color-coded housings. This connector is rated to 1,000 mating cycles and can operate in temperatures from -40°C to +105°C. It is lead-free compliant and has UL 94V-0 grade materials to ensure quality and reliability.

The working principle of the SFW30R-3STAE1LF is simple but effective. When the connector is engaged, an automatic locking mechanism prevents it from accidentally disconnecting. This is done by providing dual levers on the connector which use a unique spring-loaded design that latches to the mating half. This allows for a secure connection that requires minimal insertion force. In addition, the connector has polarization features to prevent mis-mating. This ensures that the mating parts are always connected properly and that signals are transmitted with minimal interference.

This versatile FFC/FPC Connector is used in a variety of applications, including consumer electronics and medical devices. It is a popular choice for applications where space is at a premium and there is an emphasis on signal quality. Because of its low profile and cost-effective design, the SFW30R-3STAE1LF is an ideal choice for a wide range of industries.

Conclusion

The SFW30R-3STAE1LF is a versatile and reliable FFC/FPC Connector that is suitable for a variety of applications. It features a unique dual-lever spring-loaded design that provides an secure connection with minimal insertion force. The connector is lead-free compliant and has UL 94V-0 grade materials for quality and reliability. It is a cost-effective choice for applications requiring a secure connection with optimal packaging density.
