Characteristics and use of FPC connectors

FPC connectors are flexible connectors used to connect the LCD to the driver circuit, mainly 0.5mm pitch products. 0.3 mm pitch products were also used in abundance. With the trend of integrating LCD drivers into LCD devices, the pin count of FPC connectors will be reduced accordingly and there are already products available on the market. In the longer term, it is expected that FPC connectors will be integrated with other mobile phone components in the frame of the phone or its LCD module.

Features of FPC connectors

①Miniaturised, compact and highly integrated manufacturing ②Space saving ③Simplifies wiring procedures and simple connection ④Saves labour costs ⑤Excellent flexibility, flexible application and foldable.

The conventional pitch of FPC connector products

①Row spacing: 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm 1.25mm, 2.0mm 2.54mm

②Line length: 15mm～ANY

③Line type: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K

EMI countermeasures: copper foil, aluminum foil, copper foil mylar, aluminum foil mylar, conductive cloth, silver paste treatment, wave absorbing material, etc.

The use of FPC connectors

1. FPC insertion procedure, FPC connector mounted on the board, use your thumb or index finger to lift things.

2. Insert the FPCl connector parallel to the FPC connector with the exposed conductive material side facing downwards.

3. Rotate the actuator body downwards until tight. Ensure that the inserted FPC connector is not moved and that it remains fully inserted.

4. When removing the FPC connector, lift the actuator and carefully withdraw the FPC connector.

Precautions for use

1. When opening the locking cover of the FPC connector, do not operate the locking cover with excessive force, otherwise it will not only cause deformation and breakage of the locking cover but also excessive force will cause the locking cover to press the connector to open, which may cause deformation or breakage of the connector terminals.

2. FPC connectors are generally composed of multi-core pins, plugging connectors to try to avoid shaking or shaking the connector, otherwise it will cause the FPC connector plugging connection position offset not fully plugged on, thus affecting the use of the connector.

3. FPC connector use, the connection of the line does not randomly pull the tug, otherwise it will cause some data abnormalities or loss.

4. FPC connectors do not tilt inserted to avoid the connector pins are not completely in place between the connection. Should let the FPC connector pins be inserted slowly at right angles.

5. If the FPC connector pin end pins directly exist broken or bent, to prevent the problem of safety hazards, do not apply to the use of the problem, should immediately choose to replace it, otherwise it will cause poor transmission between the lines of the connector, thus triggering a short circuit, in serious cases, there may be a direct burn connector.
