Flat flex cable is like an advanced, miniaturized ribbon cable. It is very common in electronic products that have to move, such as scanners and photocopiers. Standard solid or stranded wire cables are too rigid and do not last in these applications. On the other hand, flat flexible cables (FFCs) can easily handle continuous flexing and bending because they have their conductors aligned in a single plane.

The conductors in a flat cable also have more surface area for the same volume. This allows them to handle more current for a specific cross section and reduces the temperature rise required. This increases a cable’s lifespan in harsh environments and can even withstand exposure to salt, steam, water, chemicals and fire.

Market Dynamics

The continued trend of electronic device downsizing is a key market driver for FFC. It offer a flexible and compact connectivity solution that makes it possible to route signals effectively even in confined places, replacing the traditional wire harnesses and rigid connectors. With the advancement of technology and the need of high-speed data transmission, FFCs are becoming more becoming ideal for use in a variety of settings, including data centers, telecommunications, multimedia devices, and auto infotainment systems.

FFCs flexibility can have drawbacks in high-density applications where a lot of conductors need to be routed in a small area. The flexibility of the FFC may be limited as the number of conductors rises, making it difficult to implement intricate routing schemes. Alternative connectivity options with more design and routing flexibility, such as rigid-flex or flexible printed circuit boards (FPCBs), may be favored in such circumstances.
