Several common classifications of FFC Line electrical connectors FFC line Electrical connectors are an important component in countless electronic devices because they both facilitate and protect the transmission of electrical signals. An ideal connector is designed to resist pressure, oil, water and vibration. Other suitable qualities include low cost, compact size, durability, simple tooling and high insulation value. Power connectors are widely used in communication applications, computers, industrial machinery and consumer electronics. Power connectors are classified according to different millimeter pin spacing (pitch), number of pins, number of rows, etc., including FFC connectors: Flat cable (FFC) is made of thin rectangular copper conductors sandwiched between two layers of insulating polyester. These copper conductors are tinned to make electrical contact with the connection. This type of cable is used when a straight line to a connection is required. FPC Connectors: Flexible Printed Circuit Boards (FPC) have a similar construction to FFC connectors, except that there is no chemical etching of the FFC copper film to produce a specific pattern. While these circuits are customized for each application, the various shapes and geometries can solve tricky packaging problems. Ribbon cable Ribbon cable connectors are designed to be used for multiplexed connectors such as IDC Many IDC connections can be made at once, and there are many applications that require connections in a time-saving manner. These connectors are designed to be reusable, but can often be reused when care is taken to remove the cable.
PCB connectors, printed circuit board (PCB) mounted terminal blocks allow individual wires to be connected to the board. PCB-mounted terminal blocks are soldered to the circuit board, but they are available in a pull-out version, which allows half of the block of connected wires to be pulled out from the soldered to PCB section. For example, these connectors are used in devices for data, measurement and control technology as well as power and industrial electronics DIN connectors: A DIN connector is a connector that conforms to one of the many standards that define DIN. DIN connectors are widely used in personal computers. For example, a keyboard connector computer is a DIN connector. DIN 41612 connectors are widely used to connect network devices such as routers and switches. USB interface: USB connects computer peripherals such as mice, keyboards, cameras, printers, flash memory using USB cables, USB hubs, USB wireless devices, USB boosters, USB extension cables, USB hard drive extension cables, USB connectors, USB serial adapters and USB 3.0 PCMCIA interface: PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) connector (also known as the "PC Card" connector) is used to connect PCMCIA peripherals to a computer, generally a laptop.
