SMT ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Connector with Rotary-Lock Improves Assembly Reliability, Manufacturing Efficiency

■ Rotary-lock at rear instead of front simplifies assembly, provides secure connection even if cable flexes upward
■ FPC housing design ensures reliable alignment of the circuits during assembly, unaffected by rotary-lock
■ Double-sided contacts can be used wherever top or bottom connection is needed, reducing part numbers on the bill of materials
■ Connector is supplied with rotary-lock in the open position, eliminating one step during assembly, improving productivity
■ Low profile, measures only 2 mm max. above the circuit board
■ Connectors supplied on tape reels for automatic insertion
