Flexible flat cable, called FFC, refers to the extremely thin flat cable often found in high density electronic applications like laptops and cell phones. FFC is a miniaturized form of ribbon cable, which is also flat and flexible. The cable usually consists of a flat and flexible plastic film base, with multiple metallic conductors bonded to one surface. Often, each end the cable is reinforced with a stiffener to make insertion easier or to provide strain relief...

Specifications: 

Pitch- refers to the spacing of the conductors. A single FFC can have different pitches between different conductors on the same cable, however this is uncommon. Common pitches are 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 1.25mm, 2mm, and 2.54mm. 

Pitch Calculation-To calculate the pitch of an FFC, one needs to know how many conductors are present in the cable and the width of the cable. The cable width is divided by the number of conductors to obtain the cable's pitch. The pitch of an FFC may be required for replacement. 

Exposure Length- the length of the electrical contact that has been exposed at the termination of the cable 
Stiffener- Most FFCs have some sort of extra material attached to the exposed length of the cable to facilitate ZIFor LIFconnections.
