Usage Precautions
Do not insert the FPC at an high angle
As illustrated in the drawing below, if the FPC has been inserted
at an high angle, the FPC will bend which can break or damage
the conductive traces, or the FPC might not be fully inserted into
the connector.
◆
Lock check security
When locking, check that the actuator is level with the PCB surface (see drawing below). When the actuator is positioned
close to 0ç, be careful to not apply an excessive load as doing so may deform the contacts. (Load should be less than 1 N.)
*To avoid this problem, we recommend that consideration be given to insure the
proper spacing needed to secure the FPC on the board. The length of the FPC
should be considered as well because insertion becomes difficult with FPC that is
too short.
* Please contact the FPC/FFC manufacturer for the characteristics of their FPC/FFC.

◆
FPC load
Be cautious of the force applied to the FPC after the actuator has
been locked. If there is a large amount of force placed onto the FPC
it may release the lock on the connector or damage the FPC. If this
load is to be continuous, we recommend that the FPC be secured.
When routing the FPC, make sure that these is not a sharp bend in
the FPC especially near the insertion slot.

[ Other precautions ]
◆
Hand soldering precautions
When performing hand soldering such as for repair, take care of the following points.
Do not reflow or hand soldering with the FPC inserted into the connector.
Do not apply excessive heat or allow the soldering iron to make contact with anything other than the
connector leads. Failure to follow this precaution can lead to a melted or deformed connector.
Do not apply excessive solder or flux
The use of excessive solder (flux) on the contacts may cause the solder or flux to adhere to the contacts or
on the rotational part of the actuator which will result in a poor connection or a potential rotational failure of
the actuator.

Precautions for FPC removal
◆
To release the actuator, rotate it by applying pressure to the center of the actuator.
In case of closing lock while FPC is inserted, operating on the actuator end may cause damages to the actuator.
◆
FPC removal should occur only after the actuator has been unlocked
The alignment guides require the FPC to be removed at an angle of about 10Åã in respect to the PCB surface.
If you pull the FPC straight out, or with no angle at all or applying a 5N force, this can damage the FPC
alignment cutout.
