WAVELINK FFC APPLICATIONS AND INDUSTRY USES
FFC is used in various electronic devices and applications where a compact and flexible cable design is essential. Flat Flexible cable is typically used to connect a number of data and/or power points in a small, light weight, flexible package. It can easily be folded and fit into tight spaces. Further, FFC can be coiled and heat formed for use in sliding drawers or clock spring mechanisms.
Consider using FFC for your application when:
- High density and flexibility are important as devices get smaller
- Need light-weight, space-saving solutions to connect PCBs
- Desire better EMI & RFI suppression
- Fine pinch is important for application
- Want a long flex life of over one million cycles before failure
