The flat ribbon cable is a design that does not use stranded wire, but rather metal strips attached to polyester, the ends of which can be plugged directly onto connectors intended for this purpose. This design is also known internationally as Flat Flex Cable or FFC.

FFC-FPC-Connector views

• Connectors for flat conductors (FFC - Flat Flexible Cable)
• flexible printed circuit boards (FPC - Flexible Printed Circuitry)

The robust connectors ensure easy operation and secure cable holding. The range includes a range of different grid sizes and circuit sizes available with ZIF and non-ZIF ejectors. These ejectors are pre-assembled covers that ensure the connection between FFC-FPC and connector terminals.
