Flat Flex Cables (FFC, FPC)
Flat flex cables, also known as FFC (Flexible Flat Cable) and FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit), are ribbon-like cables consisting of multiple parallel conductors embedded within a flexible plastic substrate. Primarily used for connecting components within electronic devices, they offer flexibility and space-saving advantages.
FFCs have evolved from simple, single-sided designs to complex, multi-layered structures, accommodating higher conductor density and data transfer rates. Recent advancements include improved flexibility, thinner profiles, and increased durability for harsh environments.
Key features include conductor count, pitch (spacing between conductors), length, and connector type. FFCs are categorized by their signal type (single-ended or differential), impedance, and operating temperature range.
The demand for FFCs is rising alongside the miniaturization trend in electronics. Advancements in material science and manufacturing processes are pushing the limits of flexibility and performance, driving innovation in wearables, consumer electronics, and automotive applications.
