SLW20S-1C7ALF

Flat flexible connectors, also called FFCs or FPCs, are electrical connectors designed to make it easy to connect and disconnect internal circuits and components. The FFC connector family offers some of the most versatile and cost effective solutions on the market. SLW20S-1C7ALF is one of the products in this family.

Features

• High density in a compact package for maximum space savings.
• Unique and reliable connection between contacts with insertion force as low as 10 N and tight enough that it remains stable in operations.
• FFC cables are small and compact and feature a self-cleaning contact surface that wipes off any dust or dirt that attempts to build up during operation.
• FFC is designed for use in a wide range of applications including those in which shock and vibration are present.

Application fields

SLW20S-1C7ALF connectors are widely used in automotive, industrial, communications, networking, medical, consumer electronics, power supplies, and control applications. The connectors are most commonly used to connect various components in sensors, cameras, LCDs, and other applications that require quick and secure connections. For example, they can be used to connect the load cells or signal converters of a pressure sensor, brake system, or lighting control system.

Working Principle

SLW20S-1C7ALF connectors work by connecting the mating connector to the PCB (printed circuit board). The FPC connector has a flat, flexible ribbon of conductive material that slides into the Female Connector. This causes the contacts within the Female Connector to make contact with the conductive material on the FPC. This connection locks in place, creating a secure and reliable connection.

Once the connector is in place, the contacts should be soldered to the PCB for secure connection. It is important to ensure that the contacts are properly soldered, as any faults here could result in an incorrect connection that could cause damage to the device.

Conclusion

SLW20S-1C7ALF connectors are a reliable and cost-effective solution for connecting components and circuits in a wide range of applications. Their features make them an ideal choice for applications where shock and vibration may be present, and their low insertion force makes them easy to connect and disconnect. By using the principles outlined above, users should be able to effectively connect SLW20S-1C7ALF connectors to their applications.
