In the field of connectors, FFC connectors and FPC connectors are often confused. Although both are flexible cable connectors, FFC connectors and FPC connectors are still different to a certain extent. FFC is a Flexible Flat Cable connector, and FPC is a Flexible Print Circuit. In terms of the manufacturing of the two, the way they form the circuit is different.
FPC is a flexible circuit board with different single-sided double-sided and multi-layer structure after FCCL(flexible coppered foil) is treated by chemical etching. FFC is a flat copper foil sandwiched between two layers of insulating foil film, the finished product is simpler and thicker. Strictly speaking, natural FFC is much cheaper, and considering the production cost, more companies prefer to use FFC related designs
FFC connector is a new type of data cable made of PET insulation material and extremely thin tin-coated flat copper wire, pressed together by high-tech automation equipment production line, with soft, bending and folding at will, thin thickness, small size, simple connection, convenient disassembly, easy to solve electromagnetic shielding (EMI).
