Description
Technical Parameters

Automotive Camera Module FFC Cable connects vehicle camera modules with control units and related electronics for image and control signal transmission. It is configurable for ADAS, surround-view, rear-view, driver monitoring and smart cockpit camera systems, with customized pitch, pin count, length and connector configuration.

 

Camera FFC Construction

 

Copper Conductor
Copper conductors form the flat conductive paths of the cable, with conductor arrangement and count configured according to the camera-module interface.

 

PI Insulation
Polyimide (PI) film provides electrical insulation between the conductors in the camera FFC.

 

Contact Section
The cable ends are configured for the mating connector, with contact orientation and plating specified according to the connector interface.

Camera Module Interface & Connector Matching

 

Pitch and Pin Matching
FFC pitch and pin count are matched to the mating connector. The available pitch range includes 0.3, 0.5, 0.8 and 1.0 mm, with customized options available.

 

Contact Configuration
Contact side, orientation and cable-end configuration should be confirmed against the mating connector or approved drawing before production.

 

Connector Customization
Connector configuration can be customized together with the cable length, pin count, pitch and mechanical layout for the target camera assembly.

 

High-Speed Image Signal Requirements

 

High-Speed Interface
The cable is configured for high-speed camera signal applications, including LVDS and MIPI CSI-2 interfaces specified on the product configuration.

 

Conductor Arrangement
Conductor spacing and cable construction are controlled according to the required signal configuration. For high-speed applications, electrical requirements should be confirmed together with the target interface rather than selected from pitch alone.

 

Impedance Evaluation
High-frequency impedance testing can be included where required by the project specification to verify the electrical characteristics of the finished cable.

 

EMI Shielding
Optional EMI shielding is available when additional protection is required for the camera signal path. Shielding requirements should be defined together with the target electrical and installation conditions.

 

Camera Installation & Cable Routing

 

Compact Routing
The flat FFC profile supports cable routing in confined camera-module assemblies, including front, side, rear and cabin camera locations.

 

Length & Exit Position
Cable length and cable-end positions can be customized to match the distance and interface location between the camera module and connected electronics.

 

Folding Layout
Folding positions and routing geometry can be specified according to the available installation path. The required bend arrangement should be confirmed from the actual assembly before production.

 

Mechanical Layout
Mechanical dimensions can be customized to suit the camera housing and surrounding components, helping avoid interference during installation.
 

Quality Inspection

 

Dimensional Inspection
Cable length, width, conductor alignment and defined dimensions are checked against the approved specification.

 

Electrical Testing
Continuity, resistance and insulation testing are performed to identify open circuits, shorts and insulation abnormalities.

 

Signal & Reliability Testing
High-frequency impedance, temperature cycling, mechanical durability and pull-force testing are available according to project requirements.

 

Quality & Compliance
Production follows IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 quality systems. RoHS and REACH compliance is available, with inspection records and applicable test reports provided as specified.

 

FAQ

 

Q: Can an existing FFC sample be used for replacement sourcing?

A: Yes. An existing cable can serve as the reference for reproducing the required construction and dimensions when the original part number is unavailable.

Q: What information is needed to start a custom order?

A: A drawing, existing sample or specification is sufficient to begin technical review and quotation.

Q: Is a prototype available before volume production?

A: Yes. Custom samples can typically be prepared within 7 days for specification and fit verification.

Q: Can repeat orders follow the same approved specification?

A: Yes. The approved drawing or specification can be retained as the production reference for repeat purchasing.

Q: Can different specifications be purchased for the same camera project?

A: Yes. Different lengths, pin counts or pitches can be handled as separate cable specifications under the same project.

Q: What quality documents can be supplied with an order?

A: Available documentation includes inspection records, laboratory test reports and pull-force data for the purchased cable configuration.
