- ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) FPC Connectors: These connectors are designed to allow FPCs to be inserted and removed without the need for significant force, reducing the risk of damage to the connector or the FPC.
- Floating FPC Connectors: These connectors accommodate varying FPC thicknesses and provide a reliable connection despite slight misalignments.
- High Density FPC Connectors: For applications requiring a high number of connections in a small area, these connectors offer a compact solution without compromising on performance.
- Right Angle FPC Connectors: These connectors are used when a change in the direction of the cable is needed, providing a space-saving solution.
- Receptacle FPC Connectors: These are designed to receive the FPC’s flexible tails, often used in applications where the PCB needs to be inserted into the connector housing.
Lighter Interconnect Solutions
As the market shifts towards miniaturization, FPC connectors have evolved to meet the challenges presented by this expanding market, which demands smaller centerline or pitch spacing, lower profile heights, and lighter interconnect solutions. TE’s FPC solutions are reliable interconnects using actuators for cable termination; field terminatable without tooling required; available in centerline spacing options of 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 1.25mm or 1.25mm with low profile height and lightweight features for optimal use.
