FPC connectors
17 August 2011
Interconnection
In view of the continuing trend of miniaturisation in the consumer devices market, TE Connectivity has developed 0,25 mm pitch flexible printed circuit (FPC) connectors.
The new connector boasts a box-shaped, back-flip lock actuator and a lower contact point. With a back-flip lock, the connector accommodates a pick-and-place nozzle, is easy to actuate and has better printed circuit retention. The robust, box-shaped actuator also protects the connector and makes it easy to operate.
The most important feature of the new connectors is that they are designed to accept a printed circuit at an angle rather than horizontally, to enable more flexibility in PCB design. Traditionally, FPC connectors only allowed for horizontal printed circuit insertion. Because of this, it was impossible to mount other components in front of the connectors. As a result, FPC connectors are almost always mounted at the edge of PCBs, which is not always the most convenient location.
