FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connector Housings

FFC and FPC (flat flexible) connector housings are the plastic or metal shells that are used to hold and protect FFC and FPC connectors. These connectors are a type of electrical connector that are used to connect flexible printed circuits (FPCs) to electronic devices and systems. FFC and FPC connectors are characterized by their low profile, small size, and high flexibility, which makes them well-suited for applications where space is limited and movement or flexing of the connector is required. FFC and FPC connector housings are typically made of plastic or metal, and they are available in a variety of sizes and styles to suit different applications. The housing provides the mechanical support and EMI/RFI shielding for the connector, and it also helps to align and position the connector when it is mated with another connector. Some FFC and FPC connector housings have latching mechanisms or other locking features to prevent the connector from coming loose or becoming disconnected.
