FPC Connector - Superior ZIF FPC Connector 10 Pin 0.5mm Pitch Wide Version F05057FA010M1WLJ9
Superior ZIF FPC Connector 10 Pin 0.5mm Pitch Wide Version F05057FA010M1WLJ9
The Superior ZIF FPC Connector F05057FA010M1WLJ9 is a high-performance surface-mount interconnect solution designed for high-density electronic assemblies. This 10-pin component features a standard 0.50mm pitch and a low-profile 2.1mm height, providing a reliable and secure interface for Flexible Printed Circuits (FPC) in demanding environments.
Product Overview
Part of Vitalconn’s “Wide Version” series, this connector is distinguished by its 8.0mm body width, which offers enhanced mechanical stability on the PCB. It utilizes a front-flip (actuator) locking mechanism and a bottom-contact design. To ensure superior signal integrity, the assembly is equipped with integrated left and right grounding clips.
Product Specifications
- Pitch: 0.50 mm.
- Height: 2.1 mm.
- Body Width: 8.0 mm (Wide Version).
- Number of Positions: 10 Pins.
- Housing Material: White LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer).
- Actuator Material: Black LCP.
- Terminal Material: Phosphor Copper.
- Grounding Clips: Copper Alloy (Left and Right).
- Plating: Selective gold plating (1u” Min) on the contact area and matte tin (80~160u”) on the solder area over a nickel underplate.
Product Features
- ZIF Flip-Lock Design: The front-flip actuator allows for zero insertion force (ZIF), protecting delicate FPC gold fingers from mechanical wear during the assembly process.
- Integrated Shielding: Features grounding functionality to provide a secure electrical path for EMI reduction and increase the mechanical strength of the solder joints.
- Robust Wide Footprint: The 8.0mm body width ensures maximum adhesion and structural stability on the PCB compared to narrower variants.
- Thermal Durability: Constructed with high-performance LCP thermoplastic, making it fully compatible with standard lead-free high-temperature reflow soldering processes.
- Premium Conductivity: Gold plating in the contact area ensures low contact resistance and long-term durability against oxidation.
Applications
Given its 10-pin configuration and robust wide profile, this connector is ideal for:
- Display Interfaces: Connecting LCD or OLED modules to main control boards in consumer electronics.
- Automotive Systems: Reliable signal routing for digital dashboards and infotainment screens.
- Handheld Devices: Internal high-density connections for smartphones, tablets, and portable diagnostic tools.
- Industrial Equipment: Secure interconnections in vibration-prone monitoring systems.
Packing Details
- Packaging Type: Vacuum Packaging.
- Purpose: Protects the gold-plated terminals and LCP components from moisture and environmental oxidation during transit and storage.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
1. Does the F05057FA010M1WLJ9 support grounding for EMI protection? Yes, this model is specifically designed “with grounding function” and includes integrated left and right copper alloy clips to provide a secure grounding path.
2. Which side of the FPC should the conductive traces be on? This is a bottom-contact connector, meaning the conductive gold fingers of the FPC must face downward toward the PCB surface during insertion.
3. What is the structural advantage of the “Wide Version” body? The 8.0mm wide body provides a larger footprint on the PCB, which significantly improves mechanical retention and stability compared to standard narrow versions, making it more resistant to mechanical stress.
