■ Features

1. Extremely light weight

The largest version, with all contacts loaded, weights only 0.11gramms.

2. Conductive traces on the PCB can run under the connector

No exposed contacts on the bottom of the connector.

3. High density together with reliable solderability on the board

Staggered contact points and the leads plus the nickel barriers assure sufficient distance to prevents solder bridging.

4. Easy FPC insertion and reliable electrical connection

Proven Flip Lock® actuator allows easy insertion of FPC. Tactile sensation when fully closed confirms complete electrical and mechanical connection.

5. Accepts standard thickness FPC

0.2 mm thick standard Flexible Printed Circuit board can be used. This is the only ultra-low profile ZIF connector allowing the use of standard FPC.

6. Board placement with automatic equipment

Flat top surface and packaging on the tape-and-reel allows use of vacuum nozzles. Standard reel contains 5,000 connectors.

■ Applications

Mobile phones, PDA’s, digital cameras, digital video cameras, LCD connections, plasma displays (PDP), camera modules and other compact devices requiring Flexible Printed Circuit connections using high reliability ultra-small profile connectors.
