XF3M-1215-1B

FFC (Flat Flexible Cable) and FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit), are unique classes of flexible connectors that provide extremely small and ergonomic solutions for signal connection and interface. Their use of flat flex cable design makes them ideal for use in low profile, high density connections in small areas. The XF3M-1215-1B is a type of FFC/FPC connector designed to elevate the use of these technologies.

The XF3M-1215-1B FFC/FPC connector utilizes a high-performance split-shaft design. With this design, fewer components are required, allowing it to quickly snap together within seconds. Its built-in stopper provides fit prevention and a secure connection, yet it is able to remain disengageable. This unique self-engagement method ensures that the XF3M-1215-1B connector can be used repeatedly without worry. Additionally, its 10-pin contact design further increases electrical reliability.

Apart from the efficient design of the XF3M-1215-1B, it also has various features that make it attractive to users. One of the primary features of the connector is its integrated latch lock, which eliminates the need for additional tools. This goes toward making the connector assembly process much easier and quicker. Additionally, this latch-lock ensures a secure connection by preventing accidental detachment. With this in mind, it’s also designed for space saving applications, with a height of just 7.90mm and a width of 13.20mm.

The XF3M-1215-1B FFC/FPC connector provides a range of uses and has garnered much attention, not only from consumers but from industry players. It is most commonly used in combinations with flexible printed circuit, flat flex cable, and rigid-flex board. These provide a wide variety of applications, such as consumer electronics, semi-permanent connection, mechanical operation, medical equipment, and IT hardware. It can also be used in communication devices, automotive and aerospace applications.

In regards to its working principle, the XF3M-1215-1B FFC/FPC connector has two detents at either end of its split shaft, the left side and the right side. This allows each side of the connector to sandwich flat flex cable and/or FPC. Users must ensure that the latches of both sides of the connector are very tightly engaged. As the contacts are pushed inwards, they create a friction force which generates a strong electrical connection.

All in all, the XF3M-1215-1B comprises of exceptional design and features that allow it to easily find application in a wide range of fields. Its split-shaft design, integrated latch lock, and low-profile make it greatly advantageous in terms of the time saved and the reliability of the connection. With its mix of durable contacting, easy to use features, and wide application range, the XF3M-1215-1B is an ideal choice for FFC/FPC connector solutions.
