Specifications

flexble printed circuit

Overview

These robust connectors offer easy actuation and secure cable retention. They come in a variety of pitch and circuit size options, with both ZIF and Non-ZIF actuators, which are pre-assembled covers that secure the connection between the FFC-FPC and the connector terminals.

Features & benefits

Low wear	The ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) contacts allow for repeated cycling with minimal wear
High strength, small size	The cover assures maximum cable retention in the smallest size
Easy insertion	The ZIF contacts allow for the easy insertin of very thin cable

Application

FPC Application

Although it is a conventional board-to-board system, the 0.50mm (.020") pitch SMT stacking BTB can also be used in FPC (flexible printed circuit) -to-Board applications (see illustration below).

The FPC-to-Board method provides:

Double the circuit density of 0.50mm (.020") pitch ZIF FPC connectors.
Excellent shock absorption between PCBs, due to the flexibility of the FPC.
Extremely low profile connection - as low as 1.50mm (.059") between mating halves.
Super reliable gold-on-gold contact system.
Easy mating/unmating, when used with a strong FPC backer

This interconnection solution has found applications in a variety of portable equipment.
