Low Profile 0.3mm Pitch Connectors For FPC
FH18 Series
1.8mm height above
the mounting surface
sFeatures
1. Low profile 0.3mm pitch FPC connectors
In response to continuous miniturization of products, the demand for
smaller contact spacing on connectors is increasing. Flexible printed
circuits(FPC) with contact pitch of 0.3mm are used with increased
frequency. FH18 series connectors fullfill this requirement. In
addition, these connectors occupy less board space and are lighter
than comparable connectors with contacts spaced at 0.5mm.

2. Improved Retention of FPC
Two types of contacts design are combined in the FH18 connector,
zero insertion force(ZIF) and low insertion force(LIF). Inserted FPC is
held in place by the LIF contact, allowing operator to close down the
actuator and engage the ZIF contacts to assure complete connection.

3. Easy to use Flip-Lock
Flip-lock (rotating type) ZIF mechanism enables good connectivity of
FPC by a simple operation and light force. No board space is required
for flip lock operation as compared to slide lock ZIF connectors.

4. Placement on Board
The leads are on two sides of the connector, spaced on 0.6mm and
are visible for solder joint inspection. Flat top surface of the connector
allows board placement with automated equipment.

5. Variety of Contact Positions
The connectors are available with 17,21,25,27,39,45 and 51 contacts.

sApplications
Notebook computers, printers, PDAs, digital cameras and other
compact devices for interconnecting the main circuit board with the
LCD, PDP (Plasma Display),HDD or other device.

Operating Instruction
1. FPC (Flat Printed Circuit) Insertion
1
A. Lift up carefully the lever to 90° max. angle.
Do not forcefully exceed the 90° angle, as this may
cause damage to connectoror the solder joints.
2
B. Insert the FPC in the slot.
Assure that it is fully and straight inserted, with
conductive surface facing down.
Slight friction of the LIF contacts will be felt and the
FPC will remain inserted.

C. Push the lever down to a fully closed position.
2. FPC removal
1
A. Lift the lever up to a 90° angle.
B. Slide out the FPC untill completely free.
