The two new types are: a 0.3mm pitch FPC connector with a box shaped, back-flip lock actuator and a lower contact point; and a 0.3mm pitch FPC connector back-flip lock actuator, and an upper contact point.
The most important feature that both new types share in common is that they’re back-flip lock connector types, which accommodate pick and place nozzles, are easy to actuate and have better printed circuit retention.
The unique feature of TE’s back-flip lock connector type with a box-shaped actuator is that the robust actuator not only better protects the connector but it also makes it easier to operate.
The exclusive advantage of TE’s back-flip lock connector type with a standard-sized actuator is that it boasts an upper contact point, which gives customers a more flexible design opportunity in that they are not limited in their cable orientation.
All TE’s 0.3mm pitch FPC connectors are RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant.
