Definition of FFC Connector

An FFC connector mainly comprises conductors, adhesive films, and reinforcement plates. The conductors (tinned copper) are divided into round and flat conductors. The FFC adhesive films come in black and white. The reinforcement plates are available in different types: transparent blue, transparent white, transparent red, and black. This type of connector features small size, convenient use, good contact, and a wide range of applications. The surface of the conductors in the FFC connector has been specially treated, ensuring high reliability after insertion. Compared with ordinary FC, the FFC connector is easier to weld, less prone to oxidation, and can undergo additional processing such as bending and shaping.

The FFC connector, namely the flexible flat cable connector, is a new type of data cable formed by pressing PET insulating material and extremely thin tinned flat copper wires through a high - tech automated equipment production line. It has the characteristics of being soft, bendable, and foldable at will, thin in thickness, small in volume, easy to connect, convenient to disassemble, and easy to solve electromagnetic shielding (EMI).

FFC has excellent properties such as small size, high precision, convenient use, portability, ultra-thin profile, and good flex resistance. It is widely used in high-tech fields such as audio, digital devices, cameras, car audio, televisions, typewriters, calculators, cash registers, telephones, CD-ROMs, VCDs, DVDs, copiers, printers, wireless instruments, audio-visual equipment, and aerospace products.

Basic Attributes of FFC Connector

FFC connectors are widely used in the connection between the print heads of various printers and the mainboards, as well as in the signal transmission and board-to-board connection of plotters, scanners, copiers, audio equipment, liquid-crystal electrical appliances, fax machines, and various video disc players. They are almost everywhere in modern electrical equipment.

Common Types of FFC Connectors

Technical Parameters of FFC Connector

Compared with traditional ribbon cables, FFC uses an insulating film that is only half as thick, making it smaller, lighter, and thinner. It is very suitable for the miniaturization and high-density integration of machines. Its excellent flexibility and bendability endow it with characteristics comparable to those of flexible printed circuit boards. In addition, since FFC connectors do not use PVC, there will be no chloride pollution to the environment when they are discarded. The insulating film is connected to the conductors, eliminating the phenomenon of the conductor floating at both ends of traditional ribbon cables.
