The FH33 Series is a line of Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) and Flexible Flat Cable (FFC) ZIF connectors designed for low-profile, compact PCB mounting. Featuring a narrow width of 2.5 mm, these connectors offer a reduced board footprint and are available in various contact pitches (0.4mm, 0.5mm, 1mm). They provide increased FPC/FFC retention force, a Flip-Lock rotating actuator for reliable connection with tactile feedback, and the ability to run conductive traces on the PCB under the connector. The design facilitates easy FPC insertion and is compatible with standard 0.3mm thick FPC/FFC. These connectors are suitable for automated board placement with tape and reel packaging and are halogen-free (FH33J Series).
