Today's connector forms and structures are ever-changing. There are various types of connectors depending on the application object, frequency, power, and application environment. The FPC connector is a flexible printed circuit. The FFC connector is a flexible flat cable connector. It is a new type of data that is pressed together with a high-tech automated equipment line using PET insulation and extremely thin tinned flat copper wire. The cable has soft, random bending and folding, thin thickness, small size, simple connection, convenient disassembly, and easy to solve electromagnetic shielding (EMI). The following is mainly explained by the Shenzhen electronic connector manufacturers: the difference between the FPC connector and the FFC connector and the 7 types commonly used by the FFC connector.
FPC connector
First, the difference between FPC connector and FFC connector
FPC connectors are flexible printed circuits, FFC connectors are flexible flat cable connectors. Naturally, FFC connectors are much cheaper. If you consider production costs, more companies will like to use FFC connectors. design. From the perspective of the manufacture of their two connectors, the way they are formed is different:
1. FPC is a chemical circuit that treats FCCL (Flexible Copper Clad) to obtain flexible circuit boards with different single-sided double-sided and multi-layer structures.
2. FFC is a flat copper foil sandwiched between two upper and lower insulation foil films. The finished product is simpler and thicker.
Second, FFC connector 7 common types
Type A: the two ends are connected and the reinforcing plate is attached to the insulating tape;
Type B: The reinforcing plate is directly pasted on the insulating adhesive tape;
Type C: The reinforcing plates at both ends are directly pasted on the conductor;
D type: the reinforcing plates at both ends are directly pasted on the conductor;
E type: one end reinforcing plate is attached to the insulating adhesive paper, and the other end is directly soldered;
F type: the reinforcing plates at both ends are directly attached to the insulating adhesive paper, and the inner half is peeled off;
Type G: Direct soldering at both ends.
In general, the development of today's FFC connector technology has the following characteristics: high speed and digitization of signal transmission, integration of various signal transmissions, miniaturization and miniaturization of product volume, cost reduction of products, and termination of contacts Ways of surface labeling, module combination, convenience of plugging and unplugging, etc.
