1. FPC/FFC Termination procedure.
Connector installed on the board.
1) Lift up the actuator. Use thumb or index finger.
1) Avoid grasping the actuator with two fingers or
lifting the actuator with fingernail.
2) Do not use a thin tool such as the tip of a
screwdriver to release the lock lever. Doing so
will cause deformation of the contacts.
3) Do not apply force in the direction of arrows A, B, or C
while the lock lever is open.
Doing so will cause the lock lever to become disen gaged,
or will damage the hook portion of the connector body.
4) When inserting the FPC/FFC, do not forcefully rub against
the surface beneath the connector insertion slot.
Doing so will result in the FPC/FFC forcefully striking the
contacts and this will cause contact deformation, peeling
of the FPC/FFC conductors, and other irregularities.
5) Insert the FPC/FFC at the proper position of the connector
insertion slot, and insert perpendicularly with respect to the con-
nector. Improper insertion will cause continuity problems, disen-
gagement of the lock lever, and damage to the hook portion.
2) Fully insert the FPC/FFC parallel to mounting
surface, with the exposed conductive traces
facing down.
