FPC connector introduction

FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit board translated into Chinese is a flexible printed circuit board, in general, it is a PCB made of soft materials (materials that can be folded and bent)) connectors are used to connect the LCD display to the drive circuit (PCB), Currently the main products are 0.5mm pitch products.


0.3mm pitch products have also been widely used. With the recent trend of LCD drivers being integrated into LCD devices, the number of FPC pins will decrease accordingly, and related products have already appeared on the market. From a longer-term perspective, in the future, FPC connectors will be expected to be integrated with other mobile phone components on the frame of the mobile phone or its LCD module.


Products are mainly used in various digital communication products, portable electronic products, computer peripheral equipment, measuring instruments, automotive electronics and other fields, such as mobile phones, digital cameras, notebook computers, MID, MP3\4\5, handheld game consoles, audio systems, etc. .

FPC

FPC connector, contact 3mm printed circuit board installation height, down, flip lock (one-touch rotation system), to prevent falling off and oblique mating of FPC, elastic pin design, can be in zero-IF and non-ZIF, can be in 0.3, The 0.5, 1.0, and 1.25mm center lines are available for tin-lead or lead-free surface mount, four-hole, vertical and right-angle stack top or bottom contacts available.

Application of FPC connector

FPC connectors are mainly used in liquid crystal displays, scanners, and other electronic equipment. They are widely used in computer motherboards, liquid crystal displays, telecommunication cards, memory, mobile hard drives, including mobile devices. Recently, mobile devices (such as mobile phones, MP3 players, and notebook computers) are increasingly adopting impact-resistant back-lock mechanism when using FPC connectors. Connectors are used in: automotive electronic connectors, car GPS navigation, and medical equipment, Products are widely used in audio, digital machines, camcorders, car stereos, televisions, typewriters, calculators, cash registers, telephones, CD-ROMs, VCDs, DVDs, copiers, printers, wireless instruments, video-calling equipment, and aerospace Product high-tech pioneer.

market expectation


In recent years, the rapid growth of mobile phone output in China has driven a large demand for mobile phone connectors. Among mobile phone connectors, battery connectors, SIM card connectors, and FPC connectors have the largest demand. The connector market prospects can be expected one of the biggest highlights of the IIC components exhibition hall.
