Compact FPC/FFC connector targets battery packs and control units

By Michelle Froese | October 15, 2024

Hirose Electric has introduced the TF70 Series, a new FPC/FFC-to-Board connector designed for automotive applications. The TF70 Series offers a compact solution for connecting flexible printed circuits (FPC) and flexible flat cables (FFC) to printed circuit boards in space-constrained environments.

The connector features a direct FPC/FFC connection design, which simplifies assembly processes and contributes to overall size and weight reduction. Available in right-angle and straight-angle configurations, the TF70 Series provides design flexibility for various board layouts.

A key feature of the TF70 Series is its center lock design, which enables one-handed insertion and removal while maintaining a secure connection.

This design enhances ease of use during installation and maintenance procedures. The new series is particularly suited for automotive systems — including battery packs and control units, where reliable connections and space efficiency are essential.

Hirose’s new connector aims to meet the evolving needs of the automotive industry, offering a solution that balances performance, size, and usability.
