slider cover type
After inserting the card into the connector, a part called a slider cover pushes down the card together with the terminals, and has a locking mechanism that maintains contact pressure and card retention. It has been used from the beginning among the three types of locking methods. While it has high card holding power, it is disadvantageous in terms of size and workability.

Front flip type
Compared to the slider cover type, this type has improved workability and size disadvantages. By occupying the cover that falls to the card side, it has a mechanism to hold down the card. As mentioned above, it has superiority in terms of size and workability, and is now being used more than the slider cover type. On the other hand, there are issues with the holding power when the card is tilted upwards, and if a strong holding power is required, it may be avoided.

Back flip type
It is a type that knocks down the lever behind when viewed from the card insertion side. Compared to the front flip type, it is more resistant to card tilt and tends to have better holding power.

FFC connectors are used to mate ribbon-type flat flexible cables (FFCs) to PCB circuitry in cable-to-board applications. They are also available in cable-to-cable configurations. These connectors have a high-density, very narrow form factor and fit in tight spaces. They are commonly used in consumer applications such as laptops, cameras, computer peripherals, appliances, and phones. The single or double row connector housing, typically made from flexible plastic, polymer, engineered rubber, or film, surrounds an embedded metal connector. A variety of locking styles are available.
