As the demand for FPC connectors grows, the performance technology of FPC connectors is constantly improving. Whether you are a user or a manufacturer of FPC connectors, do you think you really understand FPC connectors? Do you know what performance technologies FPC connectors have? Let me introduce you to the performance technologies of FPC connectors.
The usage rate of FPD connectors is getting higher and higher, and the relationship with modern life is getting closer, especially from the perspective of connector performance technology and practicality, it is widely used in digital product equipment, car audio equipment and medical equipment. . Nowadays, first-class quality connectors have become the key to the high-efficiency use of special equipment for the quality of life. The following editor will explain the performance technologies of fpc connectors.
FPC connector
The density of FPC connector is very high, and the volume is small, and the weight is very light. The thickness of the general FPC connector is 1.0mm, the depth is 3.2mm, and the welding terminal has a terminal pitch of 0.6mm. FPC connectors are generally used in LCD displays, scanners, telecommunication cards, memory, mobile hard disk audio, digital machines, camcorders, car audio, televisions, typewriters, calculators, cash registers, telephones and other equipment.
From the perspective of electronic market applications, at this stage FPC connectors are mainly products with a pitch of 0.5mm, and products with a pitch of 0.3mm have also been widely used. On the one hand, in the electronic product market, products tend to be miniaturized. On the other hand, a large number of functional modules are constantly being integrated into the system, and the signals that need to be transmitted are also increasing. This requires more pins and requires FPC connectors to have more contacts or even smaller ones. With smaller spacing and a more compact appearance, products tend to be miniaturized to achieve the goal of high-density integration.
FPC connectors are rapidly developing in the direction of miniaturization in electronic devices represented by smart phones. It has become one of the main connections that use flexible circuits to connect circuit boards in consumer electronic devices. In the automotive market, FFC connectors It is widely used in radio devices, GPS devices, LCD displays, and entertainment equipment. In terms of medical equipment, FFC/FPC connectors can help realize the miniaturization required for handheld devices, including monitor devices, and applications have become increasingly common.
FPC connector stability and reliability are the most important performance indicators of FPC connector. It requires design, whether it is from plastic mold flow, terminal performance, positive force, or the cover of FPC connector, before mass production., Designers should use various software to carry out detailed and comprehensive analysis to determine its strength and structure, to ensure the quality of the connector and the reliability of the design. Secondly, in the manufacturing process of FPC connectors, due to the use of semi-automatic or even fully automatic assembly, inspection and packaging processes, manual operations are reduced, which greatly reduces the quality or other problems that may be caused.
The main advantage of FPC connectors is that they can efficiently use the existing space, that is, the space on the PCB and the space in the housing. In addition to saving costs, it also promotes a compact and high-mobility design, so it is widely used in many electronics In the equipment market segment. Another advantage of the FPC connector is that it can provide interconnection for moving and moving parts. For example, the display screen of a digital camera can be pulled out or flexibly adjusted while still maintaining electrical connection with the camera body; or flipping or sliding The connection between the display and the body of a cover laptop or mobile phone, etc.
The above is the relevant introduction about various FPC performance technologies
