04. Precautions for FPC insertion and removal
1. Do not touch the lever or apply any load to the lever without inserting an FPC.
Especially do not close the lever without inserting an FPC.
The terminals may be deformed by interference of contacts and the FPC,
because if touching or applying any load to the lever, contact deflection occurs.
Also the lever may come off and FPC insertion force may increase.
2. These connectors are of the back lock type, which has the FPC insertion section
on the opposite side of the lever. Be careful not to make a mistake in the FPC
insertion position or the lever opening/ closing position. Otherwise, a contact
failure or connector breakage may occur.
3.These connectors have top and bottom double contacts. Do not insert an FPC
upside down. Inserting an FPC in a direction opposite to that you intended may
cause an operation failure or malfunction.
4. Insert the FPC when the lever is opened vertically as the same state as it delivered .
5. Completely insert the FPC horizontally. An FPC inserted at an excessive angle
to the board may cause the deformation of metal parts, FPC insertion failures,
and FPC circuit breakages.
