Back-flip actuator eases flexible printed circuit insertion
Available in 11-61 positions, the ZIF connector range has been expanded by GTK with the addition of 0.3mm FPC connectors. These connectors incorporate a dual-contact style for design flexibility, and a back-flip actuator for easy insertion of the flexible printed circuit.
The gold-plated connector contacts mate with standard 0.2mm thick FPCs with a staggered 0.3mm pitch contact array.
“ZIF connectors are suitable for applications where space saving is required and, as the demand for increasingly smaller devices rises, these products are becoming more popular. These 0.3mm pitch FPC connectors complement our existing range of 0.5 and 1.0mm pitch products," comments Caroline Ebbage, Business Manager, Connectors, GTK. "ZIF connectors suit connecting PCBs to displays, and at GTK we can assist design engineers with the selection of the most suitable connector for their display.”
