Product Overview
As the demands for higher-density packaging of electronic equipment increase, the use of flexible printed circuits (FPC) to reduce size, weight and assembly costs has expanded. Our larger pitch FPC connectors are an ideal solution for routing signals through your device when standard wire-to-board products are too large or impractical. Set on larger centerline pitch, these FPC products are generally found in larger mobile devices such as hand-held scanners, cameras, and GPS units, as well as in larger applications such as set-top boxes, business equipment, and industrial controls. FPC interconnects of this size are also commonly found on devices that have low-definition displays, touch panels, or screens. TE Connectivity's FPC solutions are available in 0.25mm, 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 1.0mm, and 1.25mm centerline spacing. This quick reference guide introduces items with 0.5mm, 1.0mm, and 1.25mm centerline spacing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is there a pitch requirement for your interconnect need?
A1: TE offers FPC products from 0.25mm to 1.25mm centerline spacing.
Q2: Is your application in a high vibration environment?
A2: ZIF version FPC interconnects have a greater retention force and are suitable for high vibration applications.
Q3: Do you have a need for a higher number of mating cycles?
A3: ZIF version FPC interconnects allow for a greater number of mating cycles via the use of an actuator.
Q4: In your application, when the flex cable meets the board-mounted connectors, will the flex cable contact pads be face up or face down?
A4: If face down, use bottom contact versions. If face up, use top contact versions.
