SLW30R-1C7

FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors

Flat flexible connectors (FFCs) are used in modern electronic devices to provide power and signal integrity in a flexible, space-saving package. The SLW30R-1C7 series of FFCs are suitable for a variety of applications due to their flexibility and relative cost effectiveness. In this article, we will discuss the application fields of the SLW30R-1C7 series and the working principle of flat flexible connectors.

Application Fields

The SLW30R-1C7 series of FFCs are designed for applications that require both signal and power transfer in a small, flexible package. Common applications for the SLW30R-1C7 series include portable devices such as smartphones and tablets, wearable electronics, medical devices, motors, e-bikes, Apple products, and portable television screens. The round design and flexibility of the SLW30R-1C7 ensures a successful and reliable connection in these and other applications.

Working Principle

Flat flexible connectors (FFCs) are designed to provide reliable signal and power transfer in a small and flexible package. FFCs consist of two rows of pins, typically made of copper alloy, which are then insulated with either a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or FEP (fluorinated ethylene polymer) film. FFCs are usually supplied with a shroud or housing designed to protect the pins from environmental factors such as dust and moisture. The basic principle of operation for FFCs is as follows: when two connectors are pressed together, electrical contact is made between the two sets of pins. This allows signal or power transfer in one direction only.

The SLW30R-1C7 series of FFCs are designed to provide reliable, repeatable electrical connections, as well as robust mechanical connections in a small and flexible package. These FFCs feature integrated gold terminals for excellent conductivity and long service life and are pre-mounted to ensure easy installation and reliable connections. The SLW30R-1C7 also offers an additional air gap between the two rows of pins, which helps protect the contacts from dust, moisture, and other environmental contaminants.

Conclusion

The SLW30R-1C7 series of FFCs are suitable for a variety of applications due to their flexibility and their relative cost effectiveness. These FFCs feature integrated gold terminals for excellent conductivity and long service life and are pre-mounted to ensure easy installation and reliable connections. Additionally, an air gap between the two rows of pins helps protect the contacts from dust, moisture, and other environmental contaminants. The unique design of the SLW30R-1C7 series is ideally suited for applications that require both signal and power transfer in a small and flexible package.
