Low Profile 0.5mm Pitch Connectors For FPC

FH17 Series

sFeatures

1. Low profile 0.5mm pitch FPC connectors

As products become lighter/thinner/shorter/smaller, requests for

thinly-made type FPC connectors are rapidly increasing. The FH17

Series is an ultra miniature version of the Hirose’s popular FH12

Series. FH17 has 35%-45% lower profile above the board.

* FH17

: On-board type, height of 1.3 mm from board surface

* FH17L : Offset standard type, height of 1.0 mm from board surface

* FH17LR : Offset reverse type, height of 1.0 mm from board surface

2. Easy to use Flip-Lock Actuator

Flip-lock (rotating type) ZIF mechanism enables good connectivity

of FPC by a simple operation and light force. No board space is

required for flip lock operation as compared to slide lock ZIF

connectors.

3. Variety of Sizes and Options

In addition to the on-board type (FH17), board drop-in types (FH17L

and FH17LR) are also available. Selection will depend on the

application mounting. Connectors are available with 8 to 30

contacts.

4. Adaptable to thin-type FPC

It conforms to the thin-type FPC (0.17mm) now being used for small

size electronic equipment such as cameras, etc.

(Thin-type FPC: Specifications without stiffener of double-faced

FPC will reduce the cost of FPC. A single-faced FPC still requires

stiffener, but the reduced thickness is easier for manufacturers to

produce.

5. Packaged for Pick-and-Place machine

Embossed tape packaging allows automatic mounting.
