HIROSE, a world-class manufacturer in connectors has developed the FH34SRJ series of FPC/FFC connectors. The FH34SRJ series offers designers great flexibility, the connectors can accept FPC/FFC in both top and bottom contact arrangement whilst boasting a short 3.2mm mounting depth and 0.5mm pitch helping to save valuable board space.
The FH34SRJ has a lightweight structure, weighing in at just 0.098g, however it does not compromise reliability in the quest for lightness and incorporates a unique contact structure design which provides one of the highest FPC/FFC retention forces available in the market, horizontal direction pull-force for 6 contact version is 3.0N for top contact and 6.0N for bottom contact.
The design incorporates a retention tab which holds the actuator from above to ensure it is securely held during rotation, furthermore the contacts have a unique curved shape that also supports the actuator axle. The actuator lock is also designed to be production friendly and the connectors are delivered with the actuator in the open position so only a two-step operation is needed, inserting of the FPC/FFC followed by closing the actuator.
