FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connectors - Contacts
Definition:
FFC (Flat Flexible Cable) and FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) Connectors - Contacts are specialized interconnects designed for high-density, flexible electronic applications. These components serve as the critical interface between flat flexible cables/printed circuits and rigid PCBs, ensuring reliable signal transmission in compact and dynamic environments. Contacts within these connectors are precision-engineered conductive elements that establish and maintain electrical continuity while accommodating repeated mating cycles.
Product Types:
This category encompasses multiple contact configurations and material options:
- FFC Contacts: Tin-plated or gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) and LIF (Low Insertion Force) connectors
- FPC Contacts: High-wipe designs with dual-beam structures for improved reliability in flex-to-board applications
- Pitch Variations: Standard 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 1.0mm, and 2.54mm pitch options
- Mounting Styles: Surface-mount (SMT), through-hole (THT), and flip-lock retention mechanisms
Procurement Guidance:
1. Pitch Matching: Verify the connector pitch aligns precisely with your FFC/FPC cable specifications
2. Current Rating: Select gold-plated contacts ( 3 m) for high-frequency signals or corrosive environments
3. Actuation Mechanism: ZIF types recommended for frequent disconnection; LIF for space-constrained designs
4. Industry Compliance: Prioritize UL1977 certification and IEC 60664-3 creepage/clearance standards
5. Supplier Evaluation: Assess vendor capabilities in custom contact shaping and automated tape-and-reel packaging
These interconnect solutions are indispensable in consumer electronics (foldable devices), medical equipment, and automotive display systems where flexibility and space optimization are paramount.
