Explain the four structural components of flexible connectors in detail

Flexible connector is also called ​​​flexible printed circuit connector, abbreviated as FPC connector. Most FPC connectors are made of polyimide (PI) or polyester film (PET), which gives them the characteristics of high cable density, lightness, and flexibility. TXGA is the industry's leading provider of connector solutions, dedicated to providing connector products with a wide range of applicability and technology-oriented customized services.

The structure of the flexible connector consists of four parts: rubber core, tongue piece, terminal, and welding piece.

1. The function of the FPC connector rubber core is to protect the terminals, to insulate, to guide the connection, to provide mechanical strength, etc. The manufacturing process of the FPC connector rubber core is generally injection molding, and the material is mostly PA9T material.

2. The function of the FPC connector tongue is to crimp the cable, insulate, guide the connection, provide the strength of the mechanism, etc. The manufacturing process of the FPC connector tongue generally uses injection molding, and the material is PA10T, PPS.

3. The function of the FPC connector terminal is the conductor transmission of electronic signals. The manufacturing process uses a stamping and electroplating process (gold or tin plating to improve the soldering ability of the product), and the material uses phosphor bronze C5191.

4. The function of the FPC connector welding piece is component positioning, fixing, increasing strength, etc. The manufacturing process also uses a stamping and electroplating process (gold or tin plating to improve the welding ability of the product), and the material uses bronze C2680.
