Amphenol Aorora FlexFast™ Flex-to-Board Connectors
Amphenol Aorora FlexFast™ Flex-to-Board Connectors are automotive-grade SMT/SMD interconnect solutions designed to connect both flexible printed circuits (FPCs) and flexible flat cables (FFCs) directly to PCBs. These connectors feature a compact, lightweight, right-angle design with a low profile and low mating force, enabling easy direct-flex insertion and efficient assembly. The FlexFast connectors include customizable pitch and pin counts (up to 68 positions), 1A current per contact, and compliance with USCAR2 and LV214 standards. These connectors use connector position assurance (CPA) and flex position assurance (FPA) mechanisms to ensure secure mating and retention. Additional benefits, such as gold-plated terminals, double-beam contacts, and a low height of 8mm, enhance durability, vibration resistance, and space savings.
The FlexFast™ flex-to-board connectors from Amphenol Aorora are widely used in automotive systems, especially in battery packs for electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems (ESS), and for connections to a battery management system (BMS) and internal powertrain links. Typical applications also include industrial equipment, robotics, onboard chargers (OBCs), and microcontroller units (MCUs).
