Flexible flat cable<\/a>, orFFC<\/a>, refers to any kind of electrical cable that is both flat and flexible, with a flat solid conductor. Flexible flat cable is a type of flexible electronics. However, the term FFC usually refers to extremely thin flat cables that are often found in high-density electronic applications such as laptops and cell phones.<\/p>

Sometimes, the term FPC (flexible printed circuit) is even used inaccurately to refer to any type of FFC; however, this is more accurately used to describe etched or printed circuits that contain components and are built on a flexible material. FFCs are usually straight line connections without any components.<\/p>

FFC is a miniaturized form of ribbon cable that is also flat and flexible. The cable usually consists of a flat and flexible plastic film base with multiple flat metal conductors bonded to a surface. Usually, each end of the cable has a stiffener to make insertion easier or to provide strain relief. The stiffener makes the end of the cable slightly thicker.<\/p>

Flexible flat cables are used instead of round cables to facilitate cable management, especially in high-flex applications. They typically take up less space than round cables, generally provide better EMI\/RFI suppression, and eliminate wire coupling issues. In addition, because the wires are individually protected rather than wrapped multiple times with different materials like round cables, they are lighter and more flexible.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
