The FH19C and FH19SC series are low-profile, 0.5mm pitch FPC/FFC connectors designed for miniaturized portable equipment and personal mobile devices. These connectors feature a height of 0.9mm and a width of 3mm, offering reduced PCB footprint and weight compared to previous models. The design allows conductive traces to run under the connector, and the proven Flip-Lock actuator system ensures easy and reliable operation with tactile confirmation of locking. They accept 0.2mm and 0.3mm thick FPC/FFC and are suitable for automated PCB placement due to their flat upper surface and tape and reel packaging. Available in contact counts from 4 to 50, these connectors satisfy Halogen-free requirements.
