Ultrasound Equipment Flexible Flat Cable

Ultrasound Equipment Flexible Flat Cable (FFC) is a flat internal cable for ultrasound probes, diagnostic imaging systems, portable scanners, and internal control or display modules. Custom pitch, pin count, dimensions, shielding, and termination configurations are available.

FFC Layer Structure
The FFC consists of a base insulation film, copper conductor layer, adhesive layer, and protective cover film. The construction can be configured to meet the required cable thickness and assembly conditions.

Contact Orientation & Side
Contact orientation and contact side are configured to match the mating connector position, including same-side, opposite-side, or specified contact arrangements.

Terminal Geometry
Contact length, exposed conductor area, terminal shape, and end configuration can be matched to the connector or PCB interface specified in the cable drawing.

Stiffener & Mechanical Details
Stiffeners can be added at contact ends where required for connector insertion and handling. Folding positions, bend areas, cutouts, and other mechanical features can follow the equipment assembly requirements.

PCB Mating Interface
The cable end configuration is matched to the mating ZIF/LIF connector or specified PCB contact structure, including contact position and insertion orientation.

Pinout Mapping
Conductor positions are mapped to the equipment PCB pinout, allowing the cable to follow the specified signal sequence and connection assignment.

Signal & Ground Allocation
Signal and ground conductors can be arranged according to the PCB layout, including designated ground positions between or alongside signal lines where specified.

EMI Shielding Configuration
Shielding and grounded conductor arrangements can be specified for ultrasound signal connections subject to electromagnetic interference requirements.

Controlled Impedance
Controlled-impedance construction can be specified for high-frequency signal paths when the equipment interface requires a defined impedance value.
 

Dimensional Customization
Cable length, thickness, width, pitch, and pin count can be specified to match an existing ultrasound assembly.

Terminal Customization
Contact side, contact length, ZIF/LIF interface, soldering pads, and custom pad configurations can be specified.

Structural Customization
Stiffeners, folding positions, bending configurations, cutouts, and other mechanical details can be incorporated according to the cable drawing.

Replacement Production
Existing ultrasound FFC samples or drawings can be used as references for replacement production when an original cable needs an alternative supply source.
 

New Cable Production
FFC production is available from customer drawings or defined equipment interface requirements for prototypes, small batches, and mass production.

Sample-Based Production
Existing ultrasound FFC samples can be used as production references when complete drawings are unavailable.

Replacement Sourcing
Existing FFCs can be reproduced for alternative sourcing, supplier transfer, or replacement of cables used in existing equipment.

Drawing-Based Changes
Dimensional, terminal, and structural changes can be incorporated according to the approved cable drawing.
 

Quality Management Documentation
ISO 13485 and ISO 9001 certification documents can be provided for supplier qualification and quality-system review.

Material Compliance Documents
RoHS and REACH compliance documentation can be provided for applicable cable materials and configurations.
