The FH33 Series is a line of 0.4mm, 0.5mm, and 1mm pitch ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) connectors designed for Flexible Printed Circuits (FPC) and Flexible Flat Cables (FFC). These low-profile, compact connectors feature a narrow width of 2.5mm, significantly reducing PCB footprint. They offer increased FPC/FFC retention force, the ability to run conductive traces under the connector, and a reliable Flip-Lock rotating actuator for one-finger operation and tactile confirmation of connection. Suitable for automated assembly, these connectors accept standard 0.3mm thick FPC/FFC and are available in tape and reel packaging.
