Custom Capabilities — Built to Your Specs
Over 80% of our module FFCs are made to order — whether you’re designing a display panel for a tablet or integrating a touch module into a smart appliance, we help you finalize geometry, connector match, shielding layout, and packaging.
1. Cable Size & Shape
You can tell us how long the cable needs to be, and if it needs to fold — we’ll make it match your space exactly.
2. Number of Pins & Pin Layout
Whether your module needs 6 pins or 60 pins, we’ll arrange them in the correct order and spacing (like 0.5mm or 1.0mm).
3. Ends & Connections
We can leave the ends open, or add gold-plated contacts, or even install the exact connector you use — ready to plug in.
4. Shielding for Sensitive Signals
If your signal is easily affected by noise (like in camera or sensor modules), we can add special shielding to keep it clean.
5. Labels, Tabs & Assembly Help
We can add pull tabs, printed labels, or QR codes — to help your workers install it quickly and correctly.
6. Packaging for Your Production Line
We can pack the cables in trays, bags, or tape & reel — whatever fits your assembly process best.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of FFC cable should be used for automotive applications?
For automotive interior modules, FFC cables must withstand vibration, temperature fluctuations, and long-term flexing. Recommended types include shielded or reinforced FFCs with 0.5mm–1.25mm pitch, PET stiffeners, and pre-folded routing. Flame-retardant and high-temp materials (up to 105°C) are commonly required. ISO 6722 and LV214 guidelines are often referenced for automotive signal cables.
What type of cable is used in cars?
Cars use a variety of cable types:
PVC/XLPE insulated wires for general power and control
Coaxial cables for cameras and antennas
Shielded twisted pair for CAN, LIN, and FlexRay networks
FFC (Flat Flexible Cables) for displays, sensors, HVAC, infotainment, and lighting
For space-limited and lightweight designs, FFC is widely preferred inside dashboards and head units.
What is the standard for automotive cable?
The most widely adopted automotive wire standards include:
ISO 6722 (Road vehicle — 60V and 600V cables)
LV 214 (Connector/cable testing in automotive)
USCAR-21 (Wiring assembly performance validation)
While these apply primarily to round cables, automotive FFCs must meet thermal, mechanical, and electrical performance requirements under similar validation protocols.
Can FFC cables handle automotive vibrations and bending?
Yes — automotive-grade FFC cables are tested for high flex life (up to 100,000 cycles) and vibration resistance in 3D mounting environments. Folded FFC with reinforced stiffeners and high-durability adhesive can maintain signal integrity even in hinge areas or rotating displays.
Are shielded FFC cables necessary in car displays or sensors?
In many cases, yes. Shielded FFC cables reduce EMI interference, which is crucial for camera modules, ADAS systems, or high-resolution displays. Aluminum foil or copper braid shielding can be embedded in the cable structure, along with grounding tabs for improved performance.
What’s the typical MOQ and lead time for custom automotive FFC?
Most manufacturers, including YLS, offer MOQ starting from 100–500 pcs. Lead time for samples is typically 5–7 working days; mass production can be completed in 10–15 days depending on complexity. Full support is often provided for drawing confirmation, validation, and packaging.
