AVX launches new, cost effective 0.5mm pitch LIF connector series
AVX has developed a new range of 0.5mm pitch low insertion force (LIF) FFC/FPC connectors for price-sensitive applications. Series 6284 connectors feature a staggered dual contact arrangement which results in a low insertion force and makes positioning and insertion of the FFC/FPC cable easier. However the design does not compromise mating security: although 6284 connectors require a lower insertion force - nearly 25% less than other LIF connectors - their separation force is around double that of other designs.
With a low profile of 1.5mm, 6284 connectors are available in 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 26, 30, 40, 50, 55 and 60 ways – this can be increased for new projects. Operating temperature range is - 40 to +85degC which can be extended to 105degC on request to meet automotive standards.
Comments Andy Kotas, Marketing Manager for AVX/Kyocera Elco Connectors: “The new 6284 LIF FFC/FPC connectors are primarily aimed at price sensitive applications such white and brown goods including audio/video/recording devices, set-top boxes and satellite receivers. However, the simplicity of mating also suits medical applications and industrial test and measurement equipment.”
