FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors

The SLW5R-1C7LF is a type of FFC, or Flat Flexible Cable (FPC) connector. An FFC connector is designed to connect two electronic devices by means of a flexible flat cable. It is ideal when the electronic components are located in different parts of the device or in an area with limited space. The flexibility of the cable also allows for a wide range of motion, making it suitable for machine tools, robotics and many other applications.

The SLW5R-1C7LF FFC connector is specifically designed to provide space savings in its footprint configuration. This connector is equipped with a bottom shell that is thinner than the top shell and a low-profile top cable lock, allowing for lesser clearance when hardened substrates are mated. The Durashield cable supports 30 AWG to 28 AWG cables and has 50 microinches of gold plating for increased contact life-cycle requirements.

The primary application for the SLW5R-1C7LF FFC connector is for mating products designed for industrial usage. This connector is designed to handle higher mating cycles than traditional FPC connectors; its robust metal frame and gold plated contacts provide excellent protection against EMI/RFI and corrosion. It is also suitable for applications in the automotive, military, industrial control, medical and audio/video/telecommunication areas.

Working Principle of SLW5R-1C7LF FFC Connectors

The working principle of the SLW5R-1C7LF FFC Connector is simple. It consists of a header which is mounted onto one board and a socket which is mounted onto the mating board. The flexible flat cable then connects both boards. The connector’s contacts are located on the top and bottom of the connector, allowing for easy contact placement. When the connector is mated, the bottom contacts make contact with the top of the socket and the top contacts make contact with the bottom of the header.

The bottom contacts of the FFC connector are typically connected first, followed by the top contacts. The top contacts have a locking tab which ensures the wires are securely in place. The cable is securely held in place due to the tension created by the pressing motions on the tabs. Once the contacts are mated, an audible clicking sound can be heard. This ensures that the connection has been made and that it is locked securely in place.

The SLW5R-1C7LF FFC Connector is easy to use and provides a reliable connection between two components. It is extremely durable due to its robust metal frame and gold plated contacts, while its small footprint and low profile design provide space saving solutions for applications with limited space. Additionally, its flexible flat cable supports a wide variety of conductor ranges and provides secure contact placement. This connector is the perfect choice for applications requiring reliable and high-performance connections in tight spaces.
