FPC Connector Types

FPC connectors (Flexible Printed Circuit Connectors) can be divided into three main types based on their structure: flip type, drawer type, and uncovered type.
The flip cover can be further divided into front flip cover and rear flip cover. Front flip cover means the lid opens forward, suitable for scenarios that require frequent plugging and unplugging, such as mobile device connectors;; The rear flip cover is a cover that opens backwards, making installation more convenient and durable, commonly found in industrial equipment.
The drawer style is connected and disconnected through a sliding structure, which has a large cable retention force and is suitable for vibration environments.
The uncovered design is a direct plug-in design, suitable for scenarios that require high connection speed (such as high-frequency trading devices).
FPC connectors come in various types to meet different application needs and design requirements, suitable for various electronic devices and connection scenarios.
Common types of FPC connectors include straight, right-angle, locking, press-fit, and high-density connectors. Straight connectors are suitable for parallel insertion and extraction, with a simple structure and ease of operation; right-angle connectors are often used in designs with limited space, with the insertion direction perpendicular to the FPC soft board surface, saving space; locking connectors ensure a stable connection through a locking mechanism, preventing loosening, and are ideal for applications requiring high reliability. Press-fit connectors use pressure to make connections without soldering, commonly used in high-density circuit designs. High-density connectors offer more connection points and are suitable for miniaturized and high-density electronic devices.
Additionally, there are micro connectors, auto-lock connectors, and reverse-proof connectors, each catering to different sizes, quick connections, and preventing wiring errors. Choosing the appropriate FPC connector type ensures stable and reliable electrical connections in various application environments, enhancing the performance, efficiency, and safety of the device.
