GCT’s flat flexible cables (FFC) provide lightweight, bendable interconnects that complement the company’s FFC/FPC connector range. Available in 0.50 mm and 1.00 mm pitches, lengths to specification, and UL styles 20624 (–40 to +80 °C) or 20706 (–40 to +105 °C), they suit a wide variety of operating environments.
Options include standard or reinforced support strips, various conductor exposures, and gold- or tin-plated terminations.
These cables combine flexibility, durability, and consistent impedance control for high-density consumer, medical, and industrial electronics.
GCT now offer a REACH compliant range of FFC cables that are free of DBDPE and Halogen-free. This new range will help the end customer bypass the complexities of REACH and offer a globally applicable, future-proof option for flat flex cables.
Part numbering for the Halogen-free range will mirror our current part number configuration with "-HF" at the end – making transitioning from the standard to compliant range simple.

GCT’s shielded FFC cables are available on request.
Shielded FFC cables are designed to protect signals from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), making them a valuable choice for those working with high-speed data, sensitive electronics, or electrically noisy environments
GCT Flat Flex cable is available in A type - Contacts same side or D Type - Contacts opposite sides. This allows for flat flex cable solutions to best fit your requirements, due to the intricate nature of folds and the orientation of the cable with designs.
Flat Flexible Cable can be folded into different shapes to save further space and enable them to fit perfectly into the equipment. Some are folded in such a way to navigate around intricate designs, where others can be shaped specifically with the view to be dropped straight inside a product. Here are the most common folding and bending types uses in the majority of devices today.
GCT standard FFC cables feature a supporting strip, but customers sometimes require an extra supporting strip to aid insertion of the FFC cable into the connector. This can be added as an optional extra.
GCT's standard Supporting tape is standard at 6mm on 0.5mm pitch and 8mm on 1.00mm pitch, GCT can offer special versions with longer or shorter supporting strips.
For enhanced security and stability when mated, FFC cable assemblies with optional ears are available to provide additional latch points when mated, further strengthening the connection. The GCT FFC2C05 is designed for FFC cable with ears.
