AVX Corporation has developed a new range of 0.5mm pitch low insertion force (LIF) FFC/FPC connectors for price-sensitive applications. Series 6284 connectors feature a staggered dual contact arrangement which results in a low insertion force and makes positioning and insertion of the FFC/FPC cable easier.
Although 6284 connectors require a lower insertion force, nearly 25% less than other LIF connectors according to the manufacturer, their separation force is around double that of other designs.
With a low profile of 1.5mm, 6284 connectors are available in 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 26, 30, 40, 50, 55 and 60 ways, this can be increased for new projects. Operating temperature range is - 40 to +85ºC which can be extended to 105ºC on request to meet automotive standards.
The new 6284 LIF FFC/FPC connectors are primarily aimed at price sensitive applications such white and brown goods including audio/video/recording devices, set-top boxes and satellite receivers. However, the simplicity of mating also suits medical applications and industrial test and measurement equipment. |
