FPC Connector

2023-03-31

FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) connector is a high-precision, flexible and reliable electronic components, widely used in the connection and transmission of electronic products, such as cell phones, tablet PCs, digital cameras, computers, etc. FPC connectors are characterized by high density, low cost, high reliability and fast transmission speed, becoming an important part of modern electronic product design.Pin Header

The structure and classification of FPC connectors

The structure of FPC Connector is formed by conductive adhesive and copper foil, which has the characteristics of foldable and bendable, and has a certain load bearing capacity. According to the different shapes and sizes of products, FPC connectors can be divided into SMT, DIP, SMD and other three types.Female Header Connector

SMT (surface mount) connector is a connector directly soldered to the PCB printed circuit board, with a small size, simple structure, easy installation, etc., is currently the most widely used a FPC connector.Box Header

DIP (cartridge) connector is the connector inserted into the PCB printed circuit board, with high reliability, heat resistance and other characteristics, suitable for high power output and insulation requirements of high electronic equipment.

SMD (mountable) connectors are connectors whose pins are soldered to the PCB printed circuit board and are suitable for small electronic products with the advantages of small size and compact structure.

Characteristics and advantages of FPC connectors

FPC connectors have many excellent features and advantages, such as

1, low cost: FPC connector using flexible circuit board manufacturing, the formation of a simple process, low cost of products.
