FA5 Series (Part Numbers)

These easy-to-use connectors feature a rotating actuator, a ZIF structure that makes it easy to insert or extract the FPC and excellent usability in a space-saving package

[Features]
· The original connector type, which is mounted on the surface of the circuit board, has a low profile. The connector height is 1.45 mm when mounted on the circuit board.
· Mainboard drop-down types are mounted on the back of the circuit board. When a circuit board with a thickness of 0.4 mm is used, consistency with the board surface is achieved (mounting height on the back side of the circuit board is 1.0 mm).
· The single-sided lower contact structure ensures that inserting the FPC backwards is safe.
· The FPC insertion direction (conductor side) is the same for both original and circuit board concave types.
· The zero-insertion force structure means that no direct force is applied when the FPC is inserted or extracted, making the product extremely easy to use.
· The cable is held temporarily in place when the FPC is inserted. Rotating the actuator connects the internal contact and holds the FPC in place.
· It is easy to insert or extract the FPC by operating the rotating actuator.
· The included hold-down element prevents the connector from lifting up during soldering and strengthens retention of the connector to the circuit board.
· The structure also prevents the actuator from opening due movement of the FPC.
· The structure supports automatic mounting with a general-purpose mounter. Delivery with embossed taping packaging is available.
· Product conformation enables the automation of continuity checks.
