FFC and FPC Connectors

FFC and FPC connectors are a type of electrical connectors used in electronic equipment and devices for making electrical connections. They are usually found in the form of flat flexible cables which provide flexibility for ease of installation and maintenance. The FFC/FPC connectors are designed to be thin and lightweight to enable them to be used in tight spaces and confined areas where regular wire is not suitable.

SFW6R-3STE1LF Application Field and Working Principle

The SFW6R-3STE1LF application field and working principle is commonly used for the manufacture of electronic and fiber optical products such as telecommunication systems, computers, video systems, and other optical devices. It is a type of FFC connector which is specifically designed for use in applications where space requirements are an issue, such as in the smaller size components used in consumer electronics.

SFW6R-3STE1LF connectors feature a low height profile, with a 2.5mm pitch between two 0.1mm thick flat flexible cables and a minimum 90° bend radius. This design feature is particularly helpful when installing and using the connector in cramped and constrained spaces. The connectors feature two rows of contacts with a straight polarized style pitch, making contacts with both the male and female sides of the connection.

In addition, the FFC connector is designed with a snap lock mechanism which prevents it from being released once the lock has been engaged. This provides additional security and safety for the connection. Furthermore, the SFW6R-3STE1LF connector is designed with a bridge for the power supply that ensures connections are maintained even during any type of electrical activity. This is especially important for extreme temperatures and dust levels as found in certain environments.

An additional feature of the SFW6R-3STE1LF FFC/FPC connectors is that they are designed to be electrically active after power has been disconnected, meaning no soldering is required for use. This makes the design process easier, while maintaining a secure connection. The SFW6R-3STE1LF connectors can also be used in wet, humid, and dusty environments without worry, as the connection is maintained, preventing any corrosion.

Conclusion

The SFW6R-3STE1LF application field and working principle of FFC and FPC connectors is beneficial in making electrical connections where space requires are limited and a secure and safe connection is necessary. It is designed with a slide lock mechanism and bridge for power supply in order to maintain connections during power transitions or high dust/humidity levels. All of these factors makes this type of connector widely used for both consumer electronics and telecommunications components, as well as other components requiring a secure connection.
