Hirose launches a series of robust, 0.5mm pitch, vertical mount FPC connectors
Recognising the demand for robust, vertical FPC connectors, Hirose have introduced the FH40 series.
The housing incorporates a robust locking structure, this is supported by the utilisation of unique contacts that form a reliable hinge point for the rotating actuator instead of relying on the housing walls. This means that the actuator is fully supported along the whole length of the connector and guarantees superior performance and reliable connection. The actuator has been innovatively designed to incorporate a pressurised surface angle to prevent accidental lock release caused by vibration. The actuator has a strong and thick construction to withstand against rough operation and allow a high FPC retention force of 26 Newton's minimum.
Special cavities on each side of the connector, called ‘side catchers’ are provided to hold a tabbed FPC in place, this allows a temporary holding facility for easy and accurate guided positioning. The insertion of the FPC is very smooth due to the wide guide area on the connector. Standard, 0.3mm thick tabbed FPC can be used, and this is the same for the popular, FH28 series, right angle version allowing flexible design choice.
The FH40 series consists of low insertion force, halogen free connectors with surface mount pins that are available in most sizes from 10 to 80.
Ideal applications are car audio systems, satellite navigation, multifunctional office equipment, LCD/Digital TV, DVD players and many other displays needing a more robust connector.
