Flexible Flat Cable Types

Flexible Flat Cable (FFC) is a solution specifically designed for interconnecting circuit boards in electronic systems. It is made from hot-pressed copper wire, copper-tin wire, or copper-nickel wire on a PET film. YLS offers a wide range of pitch options such as 0.4mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm, and 1.25mm to meet different application requirements. The cable’s core specifications range from 4 to 96 cores with 0.5mm pitch and 4 to 50 cores with 1.0mm pitch. For 1.0mm pitch cables, users can flexibly choose different thickness options according to their specific needs.  

In addition to the standard series, we offer custom-designed flat flexible cables that offer features such as folding, shielding, notching, punching, cutting, labeling, or other special mounting methods to meet your unique requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Flexible Flat Cable (FFC) and how is it used?

A Flexible Flat Cable (FFC) is a type of electrical cable that is flat and flexible, commonly used to connect electronic components where space saving and flexibility are required.

The most common pitch sizes for FFC cables include 0.5mm, 1.0mm, 0.8mm, and 1.25mm, depending on the device’s connector compatibility and signal requirements.

Flat cables are ribbon-like with parallel conductors arranged in a flat plane, ideal for compact spaces and organized wiring. Flexible cables refer to round or flat cables designed to bend easily during use, not always flat in shape.

FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) is made by etching conductive traces onto a flexible plastic substrate, allowing for complex circuits. FFC (Flexible Flat Cable) is a pre-fabricated flat ribbon cable with parallel metal conductors, used primarily for signal transmission between devices.

FFC cable thickness typically ranges from 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm depending on the pitch, number of pins, and insulation. For example, a standard 0.5 mm pitch FFC with 20 pins may be around 0.3 mm thick.

Why use flat cable?

Flat cables are used for their low profile, space efficiency, and easy routing in tight spaces. They also offer consistent electrical characteristics and reduced crosstalk between conductors.

Flat cables may have limitations such as lower current capacity, less durability under constant flexing compared to round cables, and potential electromagnetic interference if not shielded.

FFC stands for Flexible Flat Cable. It is a type of flat ribbon-like electrical cable made with parallel metallic conductors laminated between flexible insulating films.

In wiring terminology, FFC refers to a flat, flexible cable assembly used to connect two electronic components or boards, commonly found in laptops, printers, cameras, and LED lighting systems.

The main purpose of FFC cables is to provide reliable, space-saving, and low-profile connections between electronic modules. They simplify internal wiring, especially in tight, compact designs.
