XF3M-1915-1B

Flat Flexible Connectors (FFC) and FPC (Flat flexible Circuits) Connectors have become increasingly popular and common in electrical and electronic applications all over the world. They offer a cost-effective, reliable connection between two or more surfaces while providing flexibility in design, which makes them particularly suitable for applications in the automotive, industrial, aerospace, medical, and telecommunications sectors. The XF3M-1915-1B connector is one of these types of connectors and is specifically designed for use in automotive, industrial, medical, and telecommunications applications.

Features

The XF3M-1915-1B connector has many features that make it particularly well suited for its targeted applications. It has a ferrite core eliminating EMI interference issues, a low profile design that allows easy installation and removal, and a locking latch system that ensures proper connection and secure mating even in the most rugged of environments. The contact tails are also plated with gold for improved current flow and resistance to corrosion. Additionally, it has low insertion force and extraction force contacts making installation and removal a breeze.

Application Field

The XF3M-1915-1B connector is primarily designed for use in the automotive and telecommunications industries, though it can also be used in industrial and medical applications where flexibility and secure connections are desired. In the automotive industry, it can be used to connect the engine control module or the instrument panel to the vehicle’s wiring harness. In the telecommunications industry, it can be used to link base stations and cell sites to device equipment. In the medical industry, it can be used to connect medical imaging devices, patient monitors, and other medical equipment. Finally, in the industrial application, it can be used to connect electronic control modules to industrial machinery.

Working Principle

The XF3M-1915-1B connector works by creating electrical contacts between two surfaces, typically a printed circuit board (PCB) and a connector receptacle. As the connector is inserted into the receptacle, contacts are activated and create an electrical pathway between the two surfaces. The contacts are made of copper with gold plating, providing a low resistance connection between the metal contacts and the copper traces on the PCB. The contacts also help to reduce the amount of EMI interference from being sent or received through the connection. The connection is made secure thanks to the locking latch system which locks the connector in place, preventing it from becoming loose over time.

Conclusion

The XF3M-1915-1B FFC and FPC Connector is a cost-effective and reliable solution for connecting two or more surfaces in various automotive, industrial, telecommunications, and medical applications. It has a low profile design, making it easy to install and remove, and its locking latch system ensures a secure connection even in the most rugged of environments. Additionally, its gold plated contacts provide low contact force and excellent resistance to corrosion.
