01. Introduction

Our Advanced series A4S consists of ultra-small connectors with a

terminal pitch of 0.4

mm

, a

stacking height of 0.8mm

, and a

shorthand width of 2.5 mm

. This connector is

designed for board-to-FPC connections that require a more space-saving connector than
our F4 and F4S Series.
For this purpose, the size and thickness of the molded part has been further reduced.
Select the types best suited to the conditions of use. Read this document before
designing a product and starting production.
