The FH33 Series ZIF Connectors are designed for Flexible Printed Circuits (FPC) and Flexible Flat Cables (FFC). These low-profile, narrow connectors offer a reduced PCB footprint and feature a Flip-Lock rotating actuator for reliable mechanical and electrical connection with a tactile confirmation. They support various contact pitches (0.4mm, 0.5mm, 1mm) and standard FPC thickness (0.3mm). The design allows conductive traces to run under the connector, and the flat upper surface facilitates automated board placement with tape and reel packaging. Increased FPC retention force in both horizontal and vertical directions is a key advantage.
