FPC connector, short for “Flexible Printed Circuit Board”is small in size, lightweight, bendable, and has high intensity. It is primarily used in the connection of LCD screens and driving circuit (PCB). With the significant increase in mobile phones and miniature consumer electronic products in recent years, sales of FPC connectors have also reached new highs.
Manufacturers recognize the value of FPC connector research and development. FPC is one of the indispensable components in mobile communication devices such as mobile phones. Its miniaturization is responsible for the light and thin design of mobile phones at present, from 0.5mm pitch to 0.3mm pitch. FPC connector is projected to outperform in the future.

 Advantages of FPC connector are as follows:
1. Excellent radio frequency performance and unique structure. FPC connecters utilizes the Connect FlexTM technique for better transmission efficiency with characteristics such as low inductance and high frequency, providing more insurance for high-quality transmission.
2. Easy maintenance and good operability. FPC connectors are innovated and modified based on traditional connector pin solutions, making transmission between contact points more stable and faster, while reducing the number of malfunctions and maintenance needed at the same time. By replacing the overall contact arrangement with intermediary films, the structure of connectors can be effectively simplified, making maintenance much less difficult.
3. Multiple contact points with small spacing. FPC connectors are composed of various models of pins, with spacing as low as 0.3mm, which make them ideal for miniature devices.
4. Low cost with high efficiency. The implementation of intermediary films can solve the problem of excess number of pins as posed in traditional pin solutions. The one-piece contact point product can be applied in products with different spacing and contact points, reducing the five-fold cost of the original solution to a minimum cost. In other words, despite the increasing number of pins, maximization of cost-effectiveness with minimal rate increase is guaranteed.
5.  Highly reliable. FPC connectors are proven to have a usage count of up to 500K. With mature techniques and good quality, they can uniquely sustain stable linked transmission up to 500K times, a first in the connector industry. The reliability of FPC connectors is undeniable.
6.  Tailor-made with high adaptability. To cater to the different product specifications required by individual customers, FPC connectors have a flexible design with cable length starting from 15mm, and spacing between 0.3mm to 1.0mm. FPC connectors are ideal adaptable components in the manufacture of products that meet customer specifications.
Manufacturers invest in research and development to create a more stable and adaptable product with faster speed of transmission. With favorable characteristics, FPC connectors are sure to profit from the future development of the market. With high operability and durability, FPC connectors are a key area of development for device manufacturers. It is clear that only with constant development and updates of connectors can goals be achieved. FPC connector have a great potential worth exploring.
