Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about FFC cables

What pitch should I choose for my application?

The pitch selection depends on your space constraints and pin density requirements. 0.3-0.5mm pitch is ideal for compact consumer electronics, 1.0-1.27mm for industrial applications, and 2.54mm for prototyping and standard interfaces. Our engineers can help you determine the optimal pitch for your specific needs.

Can you manufacture non-standard pitch values?

Yes, we specialize in custom pitch manufacturing. We can produce FFC/FPC cables with any pitch from 0.2mm to 50mm or beyond. Share your requirements with us, and our engineering team will develop a solution tailored to your exact specifications.

How does pitch affect signal integrity?

Smaller pitch (0.3-0.5mm) requires careful impedance control and routing to maintain signal integrity, especially for high-speed signals. Larger pitch (1.0mm+) provides better isolation and is more forgiving. We design all our cables with controlled impedance and proper shielding to ensure reliable signal transmission regardless of pitch.

What is the minimum order quantity for custom pitch cables?

Our MOQ for standard pitch products starts at 100 pieces. For custom pitch designs, the MOQ is typically 500-1000 pieces depending on complexity. We also offer prototyping services with as few as 10 pieces to validate your design before mass production.

Do different pitches have different current ratings?

Yes, pitch directly affects current carrying capacity. Larger pitch allows for wider conductors, which can handle higher currents. We can design cables with appropriate conductor widths and copper thickness to meet your current requirements while maintaining the specified pitch.
