Overview
Continuous miniaturization of personal mobile devices
created a need for a low profile, high density interconnection
system.In the same time, the demand for higher currents and
higher reliability Flexible Printed Circuits has also increased.
Hirose meets all these challenges with introduction of this connector.

Features
1. Low profile, small PCB mounting area, weight reduction
Protruding only 1.2 mm above the board the connector
occupies 50% less area than comparable type having
contacts spaced on 0.5 mm centers.
Creative design, coupled with high manufacturing capabilities
resulted in extremely low weight of the connector.
q
FPC temporary retention
2. Higher current carrying capacity
Contact spacing of 0.4 mm allows production of wider
and simpler pattern of conductive traces on FPC.

3. FPC temporary hold and verification of correct insertion
The connector has built-in FPC hold protrusions allowing
the tactile feel of the correct FPC insertion and holding it
in position before closing of the actuator.

4. Uses standard 0.2 mm thick FPC
5. One-finger operation of the actuator
Proven (in several other Hirose's connectors!) Flip-Lock
rotating actuator assures reliable mechanical and electrical
connection with FPC, confirming it with a definite tactile feel.

6. Board placement with automatic equipment
Flat top surface and packaging on the tape-and reel
allows the use of vacuum nozzles.
Standard reel contains 2,500 connectors.

7. Environmental considerations
The center cores of the embossed tape reels are made of Styrofoam.
8. Variety of contact positions
Available with 10, 40, 54, 57 and 60 pos.
0.4 mm pitch FPC
Metal fittings on each
side do not protrude
out allowing side-by-
