A membrane switch connector connects the assembly to the actual product, device or machine.

A flexible printed circuit (FPC) is a vital component in many industrial processes and applications. It can incorporate components and is built onto a flexible material. It’s made up of polyamide material and etched copper conductors.  They can be single, two, or multilayer circuits.

Single-layer FPC circuits

Also referred to as one-sided circuits. These are made of rust polymer or metal only with a single conductive layer on flexible carbon nanotubes. These are cheap to produce compared with the rest.

Two-sided FPC

These are flexible circuits, as the name suggests. They are made up of two layers of drivers.

Flexible multilayer circuits

Three or even more layers of transmission lines are available. Some of them have 4 layers. Others FPC may have up to six layers, whereas others may have more than ten layers of drivers. Compared with single or double flex circuits, they are costly to produce. Multilayer flex circuits can also be available in a variety of sizes.

Important Factors to consider when designing

FPC connectors come in different types, including ZIF (Zero Insertion Force), LIF (Low Insertion Force), and FFC (Flexible Flat Cable) connectors. ZIF connectors are the most commonly used type of FPC connector and are designed for use with FPC cables with a pitch of 0.5mm, 1.0mm, or 1.25mm.

ZIF FPC connectors have a lever or locking mechanism that securely holds the FPC cable in place without the need for additional fasteners. They are also designed to minimize stress on the FPC cable during insertion and removal, which helps to reduce the risk of damage to the cable.

When selecting an FPC connector, it's important to consider factors such as the pitch of the FPC cable, the number of contact points needed, and the orientation of the connector (vertical or right-angle). It's also important to consider the operating environment, including factors such as temperature, humidity, and vibration, to ensure that the connector is suitable for the intended application.
