The FH33 Series are low-profile, compact ZIF connectors designed for Flexible Printed Circuits (FPC) and Flexible Flat Cables (FFC). With a narrow width of 2.5mm and a height of 1.2mm above the board, they offer significant space savings. These connectors feature a Flip-Lock rotating actuator for secure and reliable connections, confirmed by tactile feedback, and allow conductive traces to run underneath, minimizing board footprint. Available in 0.4mm, 0.5mm, and 1mm pitches, they are suitable for automated placement equipment and offer increased FPC/FFC retention force.
