BConnector Operating Instructions, precautions and recommendations

2) The connector will assure reliable performance

when the actuator is open to 90° maximum (see

fig.1) Do not exceed this angle, as this may cause

permanent damage to the connector.

3) Assure that the FPC is fully inserted parallel to

mounting surface, with the exposed conductive

traces facing down.

1) Do not apply excessive force or use any type of

tool to operate the actuator.

FPC conductor surface

1.FPC Termination procedure. Connector

installed on the board.

1) Lift up the actuator. Use thumb or index finger.

2) Rotate down the actuator until firmly closed.

NOTE: The FPC must be fully inserted in the con-

nector. If not fully inserted, the actuator will not

close properly. Should this be the case, lift up the

actuator (per Step 2 below) and repeat the process

(starting with Step 1 above)

3) For connectors with multiple contacts, such as 39

and 61 pos. rotate down the actuator pushing at

both ends.

2.FPC Removal
