Flat Flex Cables (FFC)
Custom Flat Flex Cable Solutions for High-Performance Electronics
PICA designs and manufactures Flat Flex Cables (FFCs) for compact, high-speed, and space-sensitive applications. Built with precision flat copper conductors laminated between flexible insulating films, our FFCs provide a lightweight, reliable, and cost-effective interconnect solution for modern electronics.
From consumer devices and medical equipment to automotive systems and industrial controls, FFC assemblies enable tight-space routing, signal integrity, and fast production turnaround. With scalable manufacturing and engineering support, PICA delivers custom FFC cable assemblies that meet both performance and design requirements.
