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

                                                              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.
