XF2L-0925-1A Connectors, Interconnects

Introduction to FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors

Flat Flexible Connectors (FFC) are a type of electrical connectors widely used for connecting subsystems and components. They are mainly used in mobile equipment, LCDs, displays, projectors, digital cameras and more. FFCs are an extremely reliable and easy to use type of connector and are very popular due to their low cost and reliability.

XF2L-0925-1A Application Field and Working Principle

The XF2L-0925-1A is a flat flexible connector that is commonly used in many electronics devices. It is a standard size, surface mount connector which has total pins of 2, a pitch of 0.95mm, and a total height of 2.5mm. It is available in three different body types and two different contact styles for both male and female contacts. Due to its extremely small size, it is primarily used for space-restricted applications, such as mobile devices, digital cameras, industrial computers, and medical equipment.

The XF2L-0925-1A consists of two layers of flat flexible copper conductors which are insulated with FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) film. The conductors can be either single-layer or dual-layer, depending on the application. The contacts are formed by plating the copper film with a Gold, Nickel, or Tin alloy. The contact style is typically surface mount or through-hole.

The female header is initially mounted to the printed circuit board (PCB), with the contacts facing outwards. The male pin is then inserted into the female header in order to create a secure connection. The contacts of the female header will then make contact with the male pin, creating an electrical connection.

Conclusion

The XF2L-0925-1A flat flexible connector is a reliable and cost effective solution for space restricted small electronic devices. The combination of two layers of flexible copper conductors, plated with Gold, Nickel, or Tin alloy for contacts, and FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) film for insulation provides an extremely secure connection. The XF2L-0925-1A is easy to use, and is preferred by many manufacturers due to its abundance of features and low cost.
