FFC/FPC connectors with a 1.0mm centreline ideal for routing signals through devices when standard wire to board connectors are too large. These 1.0mm FFC/FPC connectors are available with ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) and non-ZIF. ZIF connectors feature an actuator which is used to secure the FPC. ZIF connectors produce less wear on the contacts, increase the mating cycle count and provide improved retention in high vibration environments. Non-ZIF connectors use friction to secure the FPC, are smaller and take up less space on the PCB. These 1.0mm FPC connectors feature a slide lock actuator, the actuator is opened, the FPC inserted into the connector and the actuator closed again forming a secure mating connection. No additional application tooling is required. Solder tabs on the connectors provide extra connector retention to the PCB. These 1.0mm FPC connectors are available as vertical mounting or right angle mounting with top or bottom contact configurations.
Features and Benefits
• Compact design • ZIF and non-ZIF versions available • Slide lock actuator for easy cable insertion and secure connection • No application tooling required • Top or bottom contact configurations • Solder tabs for increased retention on PCB
Applications
These 1.0mm FPC connectors are suitable for use in a wide range of applications. These applications include hand held scanners, set-top boxes PCs and peripherals, business equipment, industrial equipment and medical equipment. Non-ZIF FPC connectors are more suited to static applications
