The latter is of particular interest for slender connectors used with 0.5mm pitch cables, which secures according to the LIF principle (Low Insertion Force) without locking—only with the spring tension of the contact.
WR-FPC 0.5mm LIF is available in versions with 6 to 24pins, WR-FPC 1.00mm ZIF with 4 to 22pins. A special feature of the space-saving ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) connector is the locking mechanism on the back, so there is no need to work with a lock on the cable side.
Both connectors are intended for automatic surface assembly. Additional solder pads are provided to make the small LIF connector for 0.5mm pitch applications more mechanically secure on the PCB.
Würth Elektronik offers these and other ribbon cables from stock, also in small quantities. Free samples can be requested.
