FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

1. What is the specific locking mechanism used in this connector?

This model uses a front-flip actuator with a bottom contact design, which allows the FPC to be inserted with zero force before being locked securely in place.

2. Does this 51-pin connector include any EMI shielding?

Yes, it is equipped with left and right copper alloy grounding clips that provide grounding functions to help manage electromagnetic interference and secure the FPC.

3. What are the plating specifications for the solder area?

The solder area is plated with Matte Tin (80~160u”) over a Nickel base to ensure excellent solderability during the assembly process.
