Horizontal Flat flex connectors are either top or bottom contact. Top contacts accept flat flex cable with exposed contacts facing upwards, bottom contacts accept flat flex cable with exposed contacts facing downwards.
FFC Cable has exposed contacts on one side and strengthened backing on the flip side. The cable contacts may be exposed on the same side (type A) or opposite sides (type D).
Choose the appropriate combination of FFC connector contact type and FFC cable contact orientation, depending on your system design and PCB orientation.
