FH64MA series compact flexible printed circuit (FPC) connector offers a profile of 0.5mm with 0.25mm pitch and depth of 3.15mm when locked.

Design features mating guide for smooth FPC insertion; aligns the FPC, even when inserted from slanted upper direction or offset pitch. Correct FPC insertion can be checked via FPC pattern. Incorporates metal lock mechanism; allows for horizontal FPC insertion/withdrawal and produces clear tactile click. Sharp edge on contact beam presses into FPC stiffener, increasing retention force to 6.4N in horizontal direction. FPC tab lock holds FPC in place until actuator is locked. Actuator is held in place during rotation. Each contact and metal locking tab supports actuator axles, even during rotation. Contributes to profile reduction in active trackers, electronic labelers, laptops/tablets, portable audio players, portable gaming devices, smart/mobile phones, smart glasses, and smart watches. Features back-flip-style actuator with top contact.
