Flat cable, also called flexible circuit board (FPC). According to the regulations of the industry, wire sequence, wire color, wire number, etc., are used for data transmission in active parts and active areas, such as the computer internal motherboard hard disk and optical drive idata cables, and the mobile phone motherboard display data cables, as well as the data cables between the connected devices, are collectively referred to as flat cables.
What is a flexible flat cable, it is referred to as a flexible cable or FFC cable, RFC cable. It is a new type of data cable made of PET or other insulating material and extremely thin tinned flat copper wire pressed together by high-tech automatic equipment production line. It has soft, flexible bending and folding, thin thickness, small size, easy to disassemble, easy to solve electromagnetic shielding (EMI) and other advantages.
The flexible flat cable is mainly divided into two ends with round head (abbreviated as R-FFC, used for direct solderimg) and flat ends (abbreviated as FFC, used for insertion into sockets).
It is most suitable for the data transmission cable between mobile parts and the motherboard, between boards and boards, and miniaturized electrical equipment. At present, it is widely used in various printers, plotters, scanners, copiers, stereos, LCD appliances, fax machines, various DVD players and so on. In modern electrical equipment, it is almost everywhere.
Since the price and cost of FFC cable is better than FPC (flexible printed circuit), its application will become more and more extensive. In most places where FPC is used, FFC can basically replace it.
