FH12 Series 0.5mm and 1mm Pitch FPC/FFC Connectors
The FH12 Series connectors offer a 0.5mm and 1mm pitch for FPC/FFC applications, featuring a rotating one-touch ZIF mechanism for easy operation and a clear tactile click for confirmation. They support high-density mounting due to their compact ZIF system and are available in top contact, bottom contact, and vertical mount configurations. An optional reinforced actuator is available for increased durability in specific pin counts.
