Flexible Flat Cable (referred to as “FFC”) is a new type of data cable made of PET insulating material and extremely thin tinned flat copper wire, pressed together by high-tech automated equipment production line, which has the advantages of softness, random bending and folding, thin thickness, small size, simple connection, easy disconnection, also easy to solve the electromagnetic shielding (EMI). You can choose the number of conductors and spacing with easier connection, which greatly reduce the volume of electronic systems, help cut down production costs and improve production efficiency. FFC is suitable for reliable connection between moving parts to motherboards, board to board, and in miniaturized electrical equipment. Common spacing specifications are 0.5mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.25mm, 1.27mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.54mm and other pitches.

FFC is widely used in the connection between the print head of various printers and the motherboard, the signal transmission and board-board connection of the plotter, scanner, copier, stereo, LCD electrical appliances, fax machine, various kinds of video players and other products. Nowadays, FFC is used in almost every modern electrical appliance.
