This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the [FFC, FPC (Flat Flexible) Connector Contacts](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/ffc-fpc-flat-flexible-connectors/ffc-fpc-flat-flexible-connector-contacts/344) category on [DigiKey.com](http://DigiKey.com)

> Products in this family are electrical contacts designed for application to Flat Flexible Cable (FFC) or Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) materials, and inserted into a housing as a means of creating a connector system for wire-to-board applications. Often used as a substitute for common “ribbon” cables that are terminated using Insulation Displacement Connectors (IDC) due to their lesser thickness, application of contacts to typical FFC material requires a higher degree of precision than the earlier IDC process and is more difficult to achieve without proper tooling.

  

**Selection**** Characteristics**

> **Type:** Indicates how the contact was fabricated.

> **Pin or Socket:** Indicates whether or not the contact is pin or socket.

> **Contact Termination:** Identifies how the contact attaches to the wire, such as crimp or solder.

> **Wire Gauge:** Indicates the wire size or size range with which a product is designed for use.

> **Contact Finish:** Indicates the finish/plating material applied to the contacts.

> **Contact Finish Thickness:** Indicates the thickness of the finish/plating material applied to the contacts.

**Product**** Examples**
