●
0.2 mm Pitch, 1.2 mm Height, FPC Connector
This connector needs to be handled with care due to its thin design and miniature stature.
[ Precautions when mounting PCB ]
◆
Acceptable amount of PCB distortion
The PCB distortion should be kept to a minimum. The maximum coplanarity of this connector is 0.1 mm, but
excessive distortion can create solder failure.
* Various factors can contribute to distortion and we recommend an extensive check beforehand.
◆
Stress to the connector
Do not apply any excessive force or mate/unmate these connectors until they are mounted, failure to follow this
precaution can lead to deformation or damage to these connectors. Inserting the FPC prior to mounting is not
recommended either.
◆
Applied force to the PCB
Do not place any excessive force on the PCB after the connector has been mounted, this type

[ Precautions when inserting or coupling FPC
Be careful on the following points when inserting or coupling FPC.
◆
Actuator operation
Do not apply an excessive amount of force when rotating the actuator or insert your finger nail too far into the
structure, this can damage the contacts as shown below.

As depicted below, the actuator was designed to
rotate on a rotational axis. The actuator should
be operated with this axis in mind.
