 FPC connectors popularly referred to as PCB connectors, are made of soft materials used for connecting LCD display screens to drive circuits. They provide interconnection solutions. In other words, they are responsible for linking two components. However, there are many connectors available with the same features, so why should we choose FPC connectors? FPC connectors are ideal to use if the workspace is insufficient for large connectors to fit. Since miniaturization is happening in the market, FPC connectors undergo constant improvements to meet market requirements, making them suitable for smaller centerlines or installation spaces. Because the FPC connector itself has a small footprint and is easy to install, it is popular and widely used. Therefore, when demand grows, there is a need to miniaturize FPC connectors, which is also an inevitable trend of development.

What is the current product status? Products that are 0.5mm and 0.3mm are already mass produced and applied. With the integration of LCD into LCD devices, the number of pins in anFPC connector is reduced accordingly. This has led to the emergence of related products on the market and has even become a major trend in the development of FPC connectors. Because of this, many FPC connector companies have developed peripheral products with different types of pitch, height, coverless construction, drawer, double touch points, butterfly buckles, uprights, etc. These can meet various electronic product requirements for connectors, which have become an indispensable part of our lives.

  In fact, the biggest feature of theFPC connector is its flexibility, because it can be easily bent and used in electronic devices with high toughness requirements. In some small electronic products, FPC connectors completely fit to ensure normal use of electronic devices and also complement these miniature devices. In this way, both function and structure are satisfied. It is like killing two birds with one stone.

The connector’s development trend is important and acts as the driving force for continuous product improvement. The market demand for a commodity cannot remain totally unchanged.  It is only through constant improvement that a product can become invincible in the market. The FPC connector for example, has the advantage and power in terms of function, which serves as the driving force and goal for development.
