Features

1. Allows higher mounting density of board components

Extremely small board mounting pattern and low above-the-

board profile makes the connector suitable for small device

applications.

2. High Contact Reliability

Despite it’s small size and low profile the contacts have large

deflection distance, guaranteeing reliable electrical

performance.

3. Good Mating Characteristics

Large lead-in distance of 0.33 mm in horizontal directions and

tactile “click” confirms fully mated condition of connectors.

4. Optional Additional Board Retention

For applications requiring extra-strong hold of connectors to the

board connectors can be ordered with optional metal hold-

down.

5. Automatic Board Placement

Connectors have large flat width (Plug: 1.4 mm, Receptacle:

1.44mm) to accommodate pick-up with automatic placement

machines.

Applications

Digital video cameras, Digital still cameras, cellular phones,

miniature displays, cameras portable equipment and other

applications requiring small reliable board-to-board and FPC-

to-Board connections.
