FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors

Flat flexible connectors have been widely used in the electronic industry for connecting flex circuits to printed circuit boards (PCBs) since the mid- 1980s. A flat flexible connector (FFC) is a pliable cable and connector assembly with stiffener support. The assembly consists of a one side insulated flexible flat cable (FPC) and two opposing connectors on the ends of the FPC. The connectors on each end of the FPC can be various shapes and sizes, including ball grid array (BGA), multi-pin and flat ribbon connectors. The FPC’s insulated covering is made up of polyester or polyimide for optical clarity and high strength.

The SLW6R-5C7 flat flexible connector is provided by Samtec Inc. It is a 6-position, 0.050″ pitch flat flex connector cable assembly with a 5.00″ tail length. This type of flat flexible connector is ideally suited for a wide range of applications in the consumer, industrial, medical, automotive and networking markets. The connector is rated to meet operating temperatures of – 40 to + 105°C.

SLW6R-5C7 Working Principle

The working principle of the SLW6R-5C7 flat flexible connector is based on the design of the two opposing connectors on the ends of the FPC. Each connector is designed to provide a reliable mechanical and electrical connection. The connectors typically consist of a dielectric material which provides the insulation, along with a metallic conductor which provides the electrical connection. The contacts on each connector are then mated using a press-fit type of connection, or in some cases, a crimp type connection.

The connection between the contacts on the FPC and the contacts on the connector is ensured by placing a “slide on” cover over the flat flexible connector. This cover ensures a secure mechanical and electrical connection, and provides a convenient way to access and disconnect the flat flex connector. The slide-on cover also serves as a strain relief for the FPC, which can help prevent damage from excessive bending or stress.

Once the FPC is in place, the two connectors can be connected to the PCB. This connection is typically done by soldering the contacts on the PCB and the connector together. The contacts are then tested for proper electrical contact in order to ensure a reliable connection. Once the connections are complete, the flat flexible connector and its cable assembly are ready to be integrated into the final design.

SLW6R-5C7 Applications

The SLW6R-5C7 flat flexible connector is designed for a variety of applications, including portable device docking connectors, networking devices, alarms, automotive displays and much more. It is designed for interconnecting conditions such as board-to-board, cable-to-board and board-to-cable. The connector is robust enough to withstand the harsh environment of an automotive application while still providing the high-speed signal integrity required for advanced networking applications.

In addition, the flat flexible connector is ideal for applications that require a high degree of flexibility and mobility. For example, in robotic applications, the SLW6R-5C7 connector can be used to connect variable-length flat flex cables between multiple robotic arms. This allows the robotic arms to be moved from position to position without having to disconnect and reconnect cables each time.

The SLW6R-5C7 flat flexible connector is also ideal for instrumentation and control applications, due to the ability of the flexible cables to bend and twist in order to reach restricted areas. The flexibility also allows for the connector to be used in places where bulky rigid connectors would not fit, such as in tight spaces or between panels with limited clearance.

Conclusion

The SLW6R-5C7 flat flexible connector is a versatile connector that provides reliable mechanical and electrical connections in a range of applications. It is ideal for a variety of applications, including robotics, automation, instrumentation and control, and networking. The connector features a robust design that is capable of withstanding harsh conditions while still providing the high-speed signals required for the latest networking applications. As a result, the SLW6R-5C7 flat flexible connector is an excellent option for a variety of high-performance applications.
