Molex introduces two new FFC/FPC connectors to address the market needs of automakers and television display manufactures, along with other designer requiring small-pitch, high-reliability connectors. The Easy-On FFC/FPC connectors are offered in 0.5mm pitch and 1.0mm pitch forms for a reliable connection while reducing space, weight and cost of the design.
Both the 0.5mm and 1.0mm Easy-On FFC/FPC Connectors have a double-bottom contact terminal design that removes dust and contaminants from the connection better than single-bottom contact terminals. In addition, they offer a vacuum pick-and-place area on the top of the housing to allow for easier board assembly and cost savings, and a cable ear-tab locking terminal to ensure a secure connection.
Both the connector sizes feature a heat-resistant resin housing and a range of 4 to 80 circuits, spread across multiple profile heights, to provide the greatest degree of design flexibility. Moreover, the 0.5mm connector offers single and double contacts to ensure reliability and versatility in circuit size, height and cable styles.
