Operation
Precautions
1. FPC/FFC Termination procedure.
Connector installed on the board.
1) Lift up the actuator. Use thumb or index finger.
2) Fully insert the FPC/FFC parallel to mounting
surface, with the exposed conductive traces
facing UP.
3) Rotate down the actuator until firmly closed.
It is critical that the inserted FPC/FFC is not
moved and remains fully inserted. Should the
FPC/FFC be moved, open the actuator and
repeat the process, starting with Step 1
above.
2. FPC/FFC Removal
1) Lift up the actuator.
2) Carefully remove the FPC/FFC.

1) Avoid further lifting of the actuator once the lock has
been released. Doing so will cause the lock lever to
separate from the rotational shaft, and the lock lever
will become disengaged or the hook portion of the
connector body will be damaged.
2) Avoid further pressing of the lock portion from
the locked condition when the FPC/FFC has
not yet been inserted. Doing so will cause the
lock lever to become disengaged from the
rotational shaft, and the hook portion of the
connector body will be damaged.
3) Do not insert the FPC/FFC diagonally. D o i n g
so will result in the corners of the FPC/FFC
catching on the contacts and will cause defor-
mation of the contacts.
4) When closing down the actuator apply equal
pressure to both sides of the actuator.
