FH12 –0.5mm pitch, flexible printed circuit connector from Hirose

Hirose’s FH12 is a versatile range of FPC connectors that have a height of only 2.0mm and contacts on a pitch of 0.5mm. Suitable for a wide variety of compact equipment, their low profile also makes them ideal for applications such as LCD/TFT display interface.

The unique zero insertion force rotational actuator and contact design uses the tip of each contact to form a hinge point for the actuator. This ensures the cover is held securely in place along the whole length of the connector and guarantees an even contact normal force with a reliable connection on every contact.

There are three types within the range. Top or bottom contact and vertical mounted connectors. The range is further extended to include 1.0mm pitch connectors, which is achieved by loading every other contact.

Reliable soldering on the production line is made possible with a unique solder cavity that will absorb excess solder to ensure a perfect solder joint every time.

FH12 can be used with either copper or carbon tracked FPC cables that can be 0.3 or 0.18mm thick.
