Product Features

ZIF Flip-Lock Design: Features a front-flip actuator that allows for zero-force FPC insertion, preventing wear on circuit “gold fingers”.
Compact Footprint: The 6.0mm narrow width allows for high-density placement in tight PCB layouts.
Enhanced Shielding: Equipped with integrated grounding clips on both sides to provide EMI protection and increased solder strength.
High-Temperature Durability: The LCP thermoplastic housing is designed to withstand standard lead-free reflow soldering temperatures.
Reliable Connectivity: Selective gold plating ensures low contact resistance and long-term environmental stability.

Applications

Based on the 50-pin high-density configuration and 0.50mm pitch, this connector is typically used in:

Consumer Electronics: Mobile phones, tablets, and slim laptops.
Display Modules: High-definition LCD and OLED panel interfaces.
Imaging Systems: Digital cameras and compact video recording equipment.
Automotive Electronics: Infotainment displays and dashboard control modules.

Packing Details

Packaging Type: Vacuum Packaging.
Protection: The vacuum seal prevents terminal oxidation and protects the LCP housing from moisture during shipping and storage.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

1. What type of FPC contact does this connector support?

This model is designed as a bottom-contact connector, meaning the FPC’s conductive traces must face downward toward the PCB during insertion.

2. Does this 50-pin connector support grounding for signal integrity?

Yes, it is classified as a connector “with grounding function” and features integrated metal clips to secure the FPC and provide a grounding path.

3. Is the connector compatible with lead-free soldering?

Yes, the housing and actuator are made from LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer), a high-performance material capable of withstanding the high temperatures required for lead-free reflow soldering.
