​FFC/FPC Connector and Cable Compatibility Basics

-
Did you know that Molex manufactures both FFC/FPC connectors and the jumper cables that mate into them? In the electronics world, these two products are like peanut butter and jelly – many times sold and utilized together. Molex aims to support its customers in the best possible way by providing a complete interconnect solution.
​FFC/FPC Connector and Cable Compatibility Basics
Molex takes the guess work out of selecting the best mating connector and cable for your application. For starters, our FFC/FPC connector and cable teams work together to make sure that our specifications and tolerances align to ensure compatibility and reliability. If you see an FFC/FPC connector on Digi-Key’s website, you can often find the mating Premo-Flex cable linked in the product information.
It is helpful to have an FFC/FPC connector selected before the mating Premo-Flex cable, because the connector will tell you a lot about the type of cable you need. Start with the easy specifications. If you have a connector with 30 circuits, you are going to need a cable with 30 circuits.  If your connector contacts are spaced 0.50 mm apart, then your cable will need to have a pitch of 0.50 mm as well. Lastly, check the plating of your connector. Is it tin, gold, or another material? The plating of the connector and cable should always match to avoid quality risks.
You should now have all the information you need to select the mating cable for your application. Additionally, Molex always recommends sampling a cable or two to try out in your application and to perform reliability testing.

  SAE J1939 (hereinafter referred to as J1939) is the recommended standard of the American Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). It is controlled and communicated by the "Truck and Bus Electrical & Electronics Committee" (Track & Bus Electrical & Electronics Committee). Developed and written by the Track & Bus Control and Communications Network Subcommittee. J1939 has become a recognized industry standard and choice for commercial vehicle diagnostics and data communication heavy, off-highway, truck, bus, ship propulsion, power generation, industrial pumping, construction, and material handling machinery. J1939 is a high-level protocol network (CAN) based on Controller Area. It is widely used by the diesel engine industry to provide diagnostic data such as vehicle engine speed, temperature, oil temperature, exhaust emissions, and other customizable options. J1939 connectors are divided into black and green rubber cores, but do you know the difference between t

Benefits of overmolded connectors and wiring harnesses?

What is overmolding? In short, overmolding is an injection molding process in which two or more materials are used to combine a harness wire and a connector to form a single part, and the cable assembly is placed in a mold. In this process, the first material substrate will be covered by other materials. The overmolding process requires the use of insert molding (single injection) or multiple injection molding techniques to cover rigid plastic parts with TPU layers or other overmolding materials. So what are the benefits of the connector and harness overmolding process? Benefits of overmolding connectors and harnesses: 1. Increase the flexibility of the cable harness exit so that most of the movement between the cable harness and the connector occurs at the cable harness exit. 2. Provide abrasion resistance, impact resistance or impact resistance. 3. Fix the cable assembly by sealing the assembly in plastic. 4. Provide 360 degree strain relief and increase tension. 5. Cr

​Cars are equipped with diagnostics tool or obd-ii ports

Modern cars have the capacity of a few computers, are tooled with software that contains millions of lines of programming code and produce gigabytes of data, but they are still different from connected cars. ​ A smart vehicle is able to optimize its performance to reduce fuel consumption, show the best path to follow taking into account current traffic and weather conditions, detect errors in the engine and collect information data to negotiate lower insurance rates. Most cars and light trucks are equipped with on-board diagnostics or an OBD II port that provides access to data from the engine control unit (ECU). To get the information you need to plug in an external device. The OBD-II specifications provide a standardized hardware interface - a female 16-pin (2x8) J1962 connector, so a single external device can be used for most car models. It also should have an Internet connection to transfer the collected data. OBD-II connects to the Internet, and generally needs to use th
