Hirose have introduced the space saving FH34S series to meet with the requirement for connectors with increased FFC/FPC (flat flexible cable/flat printed circuit) retention pull forces.
The connectors feature an innovative back-flip actuator which is situated at the back of the housing instead of the front allowing it to be in the open position when delivered to reduce cable assembly time. The actuator is securely held in place by unique contacts that support the axle during rotation to absorb contact force to guarantee good mechanical connection and ensure long term reliability. A tactile sensation confirms correct locking. In addition, the housing entry is tapered to ensure smooth insertion of the FFC/FPC.
Space is saved on the board due to the compact design. The short mounting depth of 3.2mm is one of the shortest in the world for a back-flip connector. The height profile is low, only 1mm above the board. In addition,
the fully enclosed moulded housing ensures contacts are not exposed on the connector underside, which frees even more space for board designers to run conductive traces underneath the connector.
