What are FPC connectors?

FPC connectors, which stand for Flexible Printed Circuit connectors, refer to a type of electrical spare part specifically designed to assemble specially designed electronic circuits or flex circuits, corresponding to flexible electronics. These types of connectors are capable of building special electronic circuits by mounting electronic devices over some kind of flexible plastic substrate; polyimide or transparent conductive polyester film, for example.
