Connectors are very important to the electronics industry and are commonly used in daily life. The FPC connector, which stands for Flexible Printed Circuit board is a new type of connector. It is made of “soft material” that can be folded and bended, with normally high standards of strength and hardness.  Hence, material selection for the manufacture of FPC connectors is also a crucial factor.

The FPC connector is used to connect an LCD monitor to a PCB. 0.5mm pitches are commonly available on the market, followed by a 0.3mm pitch, but customers prefer the former. In recent years, LCD drivers have been integrated into LCD components, which reduced the need for FPC connectors. Going forward, it is possible that FPC connectors would be installed into phones or LCD modules along with other components, and if that happened, cellphones would become lighter and faster with quicker signal transmission.

There are different kinds of FPC connectors on the market like type ST series, which are mostly used in the field of communication and electronics.
One way to classify FPC connectors is through their interface type, which also distinguishes the different types of connectors. The interface is rectangular in FPC connectors.

The FPC connector is used mostly in digital communication, portable electronics, measuring instruments and car devices. It plays a major role in people’s lives. Except for larger equipment, small devices like cellphones, DCM, laptops, MID, stereo, PSP, etc. are also associated with FPC connectors.

The FPC connector is gradually becoming indispensable in daily life. Modern people as they say can’t live without electronics, which in turn are dependent on connectors of which the FPC connector offers great potential.
