1mm Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) Connectors
NOTE
1.
All numerical values are in metric units [with U.S. customary units in brackets]. Dimensions are in millimeters [and inches].
Unless otherwise specified, dimensions have a tolerance of ±0.13 [±.005] and angles have a tolerance of ±2°. Figures and
illustrations are for identification only and are not drawn to scale.
INTRODUCTION
This specification covers the requirements for application of the AMP* 1mm FPC (flexible printed circuit)
horizontal and vertical connectors. These connectors are designed for surface mount technology (SMT) to
printed circuit (pc) boards and receive FPCs with zero insertion force (ZIF) action. The connectors have
contacts with centerline spacings of 1.00 [.0394] and are available in sizes 4 through 30 contact positions.
The horizontal connectors feature solder hold-downs that help to stabilize the connector before and after
soldering. The top entry horizontal connector is for FPCs with exposed traces facing upward and the bottom
entry is for FPCs with exposed traces facing downward. The connectors may be machine placed on pc
boards with robotic equipment.
When corresponding with personnel, use the terminology provided in this specification to facilitate your
inquiries for information. Basic terms and features of this product are provided in Figure 1.

REQUIREMENTS
Storage
A. Ultraviolet Light
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may deteriorate the chemical composition used in the
connectors.
B. Shelf Life
The connectors should remain in the shipping containers until ready for use to prevent deformation to
the contacts. The connectors should be used on a first in, first out basis to avoid storage contamination
that could adversely affect them.
C. Chemical Exposure
Do not store connectors near any chemicals listed below, as they may cause stress corrosion cracking
in the connectors.
Alkalies
Amines
Ammonia
Carbonates
Citrates
Nitrites
Phosphates Citrates
Sulfur Nitrites
Sulfur Compounds
Tartrates

D. Reeled Connectors
Connectors are packaged and shipped in boxed reels of embossed tape packaging that conforms to
Electronic Industries Association (EIA) 481 Packaging Standards. Each reel begins with a leader
consisting of an empty strip of carrier which may or may not include cover tape. The trailing end
consists of empty carrier strip with cover tape that will unwind freely when the reel empties. There are
four tape widths to accommodate the full range of connector positions. See Figure 2.

PC Board
A. Material
The pc board material shall be glass epoxy (FR-4 or G-10). Call the Product Information at the number
at the bottom of page 1 for suitability of other materials.
B. Tolerance
Maximum allowable bow of the pc board shall be 0.10 [.004] over the length of the connector.
C. Pads
At time of connector placement, coplanarity of the pad pattern must be held to 0.05 [.002] maximum.
D. Layout
Recommended pc board patterns for these connectors are provided in Figure 3 (the layouts are viewed
from the connector side).
