1. Low-profile, small PCB mounting area

Narrow width of only 2.5 mm reduced the board

footprint by approximately 17% to 57%, as compared to

several similar FH Series HRS connectors.

2. Various contact pitch (0.4mm, 0.5mm, 1mm

pitch) available

In addition to standard 0.5mm pitch, 0.4mm pitch, 1mm

pitch also available.

3. Increased FPC/FFC retention force

_ In the horizontal direction: Approximately 2.0 times

(compared to 0.5mm pitch FH12 series.)

_ In the vertical direction: Approximately 1.7 times

(compared to 0.5mm pitch FH19 series.)

4. Conductive traces on the PCB can run

under the connector

No exposed contacts on the bottom of the connector.

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/FFC, confirming it

with a definite tactile feel.

6. Easy FPC insertion and reliable electrical

connection

Proven Flip Lock actuator allows easy insertion of

FPC/FFC and provides a tactile sensation when fully

closed, confirming complete electrical and mechanical

connection.

7. Accepts standard FPC thickness

0.3mm thick standard Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) and

Flexible Flat Cable (FFC) can be used.

8. Board

placement

with

automatic

equipment

Flat upper surface and tape and reel packaging

facilitate vacuum pick-up and placement.

Standard reel packaging contains 5000 connectors.
