Folding & Bending Types

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.

Shielding & Grounding

Shielding (grounding) is used to improve EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) protection, which provides protection from external electrical noise.

Sometimes on a FFC cable alternative conductors are grounded & connected to the shield, so giving each of the other conductors (carrying electrical signals) protection from interfering with each other or from external electrical noise.

Additional Supporting Strips

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.

Secure Cable Mating

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.
